The 6th annual Scott Broshko Memorial Hockey Tournament, held December 14, 19th, 2009, was a success on all fronts. 

Dave and Donna Broshko opened the tournament.  Dave welcomed the Player, Families and Coaching Staff with a personal greeting focusing on fun and fair play.  Donna baked Scott’s favourite cookies, packaging a bag for each of the players and coaches.  If you were lucky enough to have someone share, you’ll know how wonderful the cookies are!  Donna has kindly shared the recipe which is posted on the website for all to enjoy (see below).

Recognition for all!

In keeping with past traditions, prizes for Most Sportsmanlike players were donated and presented to a player on each of the participating teams at the end of the tournament by the Broshko Family.

The Blackfoot Hockey Association donated pins for all of the participants and the Warriors team donated a prize for the Goalie of the Tournament and recognized the MVP for the playoffs with an award for each team.

The tournament committee, in conjunction with the efforts and energy of the team parents and coaching staff, coordinated a fundraising effort raising a donation of $1051.65 for the Canadian Avalanche Foundation in memory of Scott Broshko.  Thank you to everyone that contributed, especially to those that bought the tickets!
