The Draft Tournament Difference

When I show up at shinny (this is what we call pick up/drop in hockey in Canada) I am usually wearing my draft tournament gear, my themed socks, pant shells and jersey. It takes about 30 seconds to get noticed, the unis are always outrageous and inevitably someone comes up to me and the conversation goes something likes this.

“Hey man these are awesome, where did you get them?” And so I go into my usual explanation, “I got them at a Draft Tournament”, the next question is “What is a Draft Tournament?”. How do you explain to someone who’s never had the best hockey weekend of their life, what the Draft Tournament is?

It is like trying to explain what Fight Club is to someone who has never been to Fight Club. In many ways the Draft Tournament and Fight Club are the same. There is the Friday night ritual, a tight knit group of people, more like a family than a group of friends, and an unbelievable weekend every tournament.

The difference is, you don’t have to stand outside the door for three nights like Meatloaf, if you want in, you are immediately accepted even if you don’t know anyone and you are part of the crew. Hockey skill is optional, however, ability to have fun is mandatory!

We all gather on a Friday night somewhere, be it Boston, Chicago, Nashville, Vegas, Seattle, Phoenix or any other place we do this (yep we’ve been to Austria and Japan in the last few years). Some of us show up a day earlier to enjoy the city and do a little sight seeing.

Eventually we all end up at the same place on Friday at 8PM, the designated Draft Party venue. Everyone checks in and gets a lanyard with their name and position, on the back is the schedule for the next two days.

he dipsies, he doodles and somehow the puck is in your net.
