ECAFL Pre-Season Tournament this Saturday - April 30th

Attention all Saints!

This weekend is our big annual pre-season tournament and the premier footy event in Quebec to kick off the 2011 regular season. We will be hosting 2 ECAFL teams plus the Montreal Shamrocks, 2 teams from the Ottawa Swans AFC and the Toronto Rebels AFC.

WHERE: This year we will play in Laval, at Collège Letendre next to the Montmorrency metro station on a brand new synthetic field.  The address is 1000, boulevard de l'Avenir, Laval, QC H7N 6J6. The entry of the parking lot is on Boulevard du Souvenir: http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&biw=1225&bih=575&q=college%20letendre&wrapid=tlif130366642575011&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl
There is another college and another field just next to this one. Be sure to enter the right one.

WHEN: The tournament will be held as scheduled on Saturday, April 30th. Please be at the field at 10 am as it is critical for us to start on time. We will make sure that the Toronto Rebels will not play the first games as they are coming from further away.

WHAT TO BRING: Bring boots with plastic studs and avoid metal ones. Bring some sun block (I know I'm very optimistic) as it is expected to be a bright sunny day in Montréal.

USEFUL INFO: Water and (hopefully) closing locker rooms with showers will be provided for the Tournament. We will run a BBQ and have fresh drinks available. We will also have Québec Saints hoodies and raffle tickets to sell.

After the Tournament, we will head downtown to celebrate in our sponspor's bar. Food, drinks and the second playoff round Canadian hockey game (finger crossed!) on top of that will be there to welcome you.

Don't forget to get your regular season memberships while they are still $60 (they go up to $70 after this Sunday). Cost to enter the pre-season tournament is $5 or free if a membership is purchased.
