Winter Classic (Oakville Rangers Hockey Club)

Thanks to you, the Oakville Rangers Winter Classic is THE largest minor hockey tournament in Canada and the 2nd largest in the World! If we had more ice, we would be the largest tournament in the World, as we had over 550 teams register. This year, 345 teams are 'in' and we are sold out.

But much more important than 'size' is 'quality' and our club takes great pride in offering one of the best tournament experiences around. We run it ourselves with a few staff members and an army of U18 players/family + other volunteers. Yeah, we make some money that helps keep minor hockey affordable but our goal is not money. Our goal is to host the best tournament of the year, every year and every decision is made with that goal in mind.

High-end BarDown swag for all participants; a free Junior A Oakville Blades game; live bands; the Hockey Hall of Fame trophies and displays; the Hockey Village with interactive games, vendors and exhibits; play-off MVP awards and the best Championship and Finalist swag.

Tournaments are probably the best part of minor hockey - hotels, team meals, making friends and memories for life and maybe a shot at some Sunday glory!

We are thrilled that you have chosen to be a part of the Oakville Rangers Winter Classic!
