As has been the case for the last decade, Moose Jaw Warriors legend Theoren Fleury will be one of the participants in the Moose Jaw Warriors Alumni Golf Tournament.

MOOSEJAWTODAY.COM -- One of the most popular events of the summer will undoubtedly be taken to a new level when the Warriors Alumni Golf Tournament returns in a little under a month.

The 13th annual edition of the event --  sponsored this year by Knight Automotive -- will begin on Thursday, July 4 with the registration and social, followed by the tournament itself on Friday, July 5 at the Hillcrest Golf Club.

“It will be great to have everyone back at the course for a great day of golf,” said tournament chair Todd Hudson. “It takes all of us to make this event the success that it is each year, thanks for the community’s support.”

Making things all the more special this time around is what occurred just a few weeks ago, with the Warriors winning their first-ever Western Hockey League championship and going on to compete in the Memorial Cup.

Members of the title-winning team will be back in Moose Jaw, giving fans a chance to see their heroes as a group one more time. And that’s not taking into account the large number of former players who take part every year, with some of the luminaries this time around including Warriors and Legends Hall of Fame members Theoren Fleury and Troy Brouwer along with Moose Jaw product Brennen Wray.

The fun begins on July 4 with the registration, dinner and social, with more information on that event to come later. The golf tournament itself tees off on the morning of July 5, with Warriors alumni and current players taking the course alongside tournament participants in a scramble format.

It’s all for a great cause, as proceeds from the event go to the Warriors Education fund, which provides graduating players with the opportunity to further their education at post-secondary schools. The Alumni tournament has settled into an annual goal of around $100,000, and over the past 12 years, more than $1 million has been raised, covering the education costs for close to 100 former players.

For more information on becoming a sponsor of the event or to register, contact Todd Hudson at (306) 631-0288 or Olivia Howe at (306) 630-6350.
