It is that time of year again! The first week of March is when the International Air Traffic Conroller Hockey Tournament takes place in different city each year. This year it will be in Minneapolis, which we are excited to return there (we lived there for a few months in 2000). Last years tourney was in Vancouver, B.C. and was a blast! There were 28 teams from all over the United States and Canada, Finnland and Russia. It was very cool to meet people from different countries with some common interests: hockey and ATC. The tourney consists of 4 games in 4 days and a large banquet and award presentation on the last night. There are awards for winning divisions, goals scored, best players, etc.. There are also awards for best uniforms and the ever coveted "Horses A**" award, which with all of the beer that is consummed, there are many who are qualified to win, but there can only be one winner! Here are a few pictures of last years tourney and the schedules have been posted for this year at http://www.atchockey2009.com/. Look for the Albuquerque Roadrunners.
