Delete I am not finding any published sources about this tournament nor its participants. Based on what I have found, this is either a local beer league or senior hockey event, with maybe more organization than a backyard game. Even so, I would like say it fails WP:NEVENT under WP:GEOSCOPE for being highly localized coverage to Barrie. Likely also falls under WP:NOTNEWS original reporting with only local figures as participants and unverifiable results. (Not to mention the article currently rides the edge of WP:PROMOTIONAL.)

Delete There are no sources anywhere that indicate any notability. I am pretty sure this is a case of some guys who created their own little tournament one day and have made a tradition of holding it. Very much fails WP:GNG. -DJSasso (talk) 15:15, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As per Djsasso. I spend a fair bit of time in the area and know the lake well, and I have never heard of it.18abruce (talk) 16:19, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
