The 7th Annual Exclaim! Cup Hockey Summit

Canada’s Hockey Tournament for Musicians and Artists

They’re gonna rock’n’roll all night and play hockey every day at the 7th Annual Exclaim! Cup Hockey Summit.

The Exclaim! Cup hockey tournament will be played this Easter weekend (March 24 to 27) in Toronto. Twenty-eight teams of artists from across Canada, featuring members of the Barenaked Ladies, Sloan, Rheostatics, Cowboy Junkies, The Sadies, The Smugglers and free agents like Sean Cullen and Darren McCarty of the Detroit Red Wings, will lace ‘em up for three days of hockey madness in pursuit of the Exclaim! Cup.

After days on the ice come nights on the mic. Join us for three nights of post-game parties and watch the teams sing and dance in competition for the Exclaim! Hockey Hootenanny Dominion Trophy.

The music doesn’t stop there. During every game the arena rafters will be resonating with the finest hockey rock provided live by the likes of hockey players Chris Murphy (Sloan), Tyler Stewart (Barenaked Ladies), Don Kerr (Ron Sexsmith Band), Mike Belitzky (Sadies) and many more.

The Easter Bunny is already in training for the Sunday morning Easter egg hunt and his appearance at the family skate. And don’t miss the Exclaim! Summit stars of tomorrow minor hockey challenge.

Food will be collected for the Daily Bread Food Bank at all the arenas.
