Screening of The Tournament

Adults - Drop In

Join us for a screening of the short film The Tournament. This 2020 film is 22 minutes long. Over the course of a weekend tournament, youth sledge hockey teams from the US and Canada battle for supremacy. Designed for players who have a physical challenge, the fundaments of the sport - passing, shooting, trash talking your opponents - remain the same. Director Sam Vint captures the end-to-end action as the Manitoba Sledgehammers do it all. Part of Perth County Reads programming.
