Often recognized as the world's premier U10 to U13 hockey tournament, the 22nd annual Bell Capital Cup will showcase great minor hockey action across Ottawa this holiday season, featuring teams from across North America.
Through the generosity of title sponsor Bell, all teams who register and pay before the deadline of Wednesday, Nov. 23 will be provided the opportunity, while tickets remain, to attend one of four upcoming Senators games:
Tuesday, Dec. 6 vs. Los Angeles Kings
Monday, Dec. 12 vs. Anaheim Ducks
Monday, Jan. 9 vs. Nashville Predators
Wednesday, Jan. 25 vs. New York Islanders
From house league to AAA, the Bell Capital Cup will welcome U10, U11, U12 and U13 aged hockey players from across Ontario to Ottawa to vie for the Allen J. MacDonald Memorial Trophy, which will be awarded to each division champion. The opportunity to play for the respective division titles at Canadian Tire Centre, the home of the National Hockey League's Ottawa Senators will be an incredibly unique experience, not found at any other event.
The Bell Capital Cup's 17 divisions will play more than 400 games on 19 ice surfaces across the city. Each division's championship game will be played at Canadian Tire Centre over the course of two days on Dec. 30 and Dec. 31.
The Ottawa International Hockey Festival is a non-profit organization with the mandate, as set forth by its volunteer board of directors, to support local children's charities and minor hockey. The Bell Capital Cup provides young athletes with an opportunity to compete against their peers in a high-level environment, meet new friends and develop skills both on and off the ice in a fun yet competitive setting. Money raised from this year's tournament will once again support minor hockey and local charities. To date, more than $2.68 million has been raised through Bell Capital Cup initiatives over the 21-year history of the tournament.
