About the Ed Horvath Tournament
Each year, Medicine Hat Ringette Association hosts the Ed Horvath Interprovincial Classic which is one of the largest Ringette tournaments in Western Canada.
Our tournament takes it's name from Ed Horvath, a Ringette parent, coach, and current referee who was instrumental in the start-up and growth of the sport of Ringette in Medicine Hat and Southern Alberta in the 1980's.
The Ed Horvath Interprovincial Classic is typically held at the beginning of December each year. With Medicine Hat situated near the Saskatchewan border, it is a unique tournament in that teams from both Alberta and Saskatchewan are often in attendance. All participating teams play four games, athletes receive a fun swag bag and enjoy a weekend of friendship and fun!
