Neither snow nor rain nor cold nor gloom of night stays these Kimmett Cuppers from lacing up their skates for a good cause. 
 
On behalf of all of the Kimmett Cup organizers, THANK YOU for everything you’ve done to make this year’s tournament a MONUMENTAL, RECORD-BREAKING success.
 
Together we far surpassed our expectations!  The preliminary numbers are over $218,000 for the entire tournament reaching our goal of $125,000.00 to Children’s Wish and amassing $755,000 over the past 6 years!  Next stop – ONE MILLION DOLLARS :)! This translates into granting the heartfelt wishes to 75 special families.  
 
The Children’s Cottage Society will also be receiving $55,000 supporting the building of strong families through support services, respite programs, crisis nurseries and providing a safe, warm environment at Brenda’s House in support of Calgary’s Homeless Families.  
 
Additionally, $2,155 will be gifted to the Helping Families Handle Cancer Foundation (www.helpingfamilieshandlecancer.com)
 
The remainder will fund local programs through the Lindsay Leigh Kimmett Memorial Foundation (www.lindsaykimmett.net).  Lindsay’s foundation has now contributed over $2,500,000.00 to local and international initiatives since its inception in 2008.  
 
To our Volunteers, thank you for your selfless gift of time, hard work, dedication and enthusiasm.  Your smiles, hugs, and endless energy provided the perfect backdrop for an incredible weekend.  
 
A special thank-you to Susan Bannister who generously donated our new and improved (and much lighter!) Kimmett Cup nets in memory of her husband and one of our first, most dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers and supporters, Tim Bannister.  
 
To our Sponsors, thank you for your belief in our cause and for your commitment to our community.
 
To our Players and Spectators, you gave the day life! Thank you for the memorable games, loud cheers, sportsmanship and for competing with your hearts on your sleeves as Lindsay did!  Congratulations to The Hellbenders for taking home the Kimmett Cup for the 3rd time, Kraken for capturing the Recreational Trophy, and The Cochrane Cruisers and Taylor, Jocelyn, Charlotte and William Kimmett for winning the “Spirit Of The Kimmett Cup Award” as the top fundraising team and individuals respectively raising over $11,000 and granting their very own wish!! 
 
We proudly payed tribute to our late friend, inspiring Cochranite and brave member of Calgary Police Services, Sarah Degraw, whose initials were proudly displayed over the hearts of every jersey in commemoration of her legacy of helping others!
 
To our Children’s Wish & Children Cottage Families, YOU are our inspiration!   Thank you for your courage, heartfelt speeches, and for sharing your stories and artwork which brought tears to our eyes and warmth to our hearts. 
 
Special thanks to our event ambassadors and future wish recipients, The Low Triplets and their fellow wish heroes, Owen, Liam, Kiptyn, and Shelby who skated and cheered alongside us bringing joy to their teammates and scoring timely goals versus their opponents :)!  They also made up the youngest contingent of fundraisers in the tournament setting an example of the power of giving!  
 
We hosted our second annual Kimmett Cup Kids Tournament on Sunday Feb. 10th in which a record 12 Cochrane minor hockey teams from Novice to Peewee competed on Mitford Ponds to raise money for Children’s Cottage Society in memory of Lindsay’s late medical school classmate, Dr. Greg Roberts.  Greg was an amazing father and friend, a compassionate physician and children’s book author.  Congrats to the Cochrane Rockies Female Atom team who raised over $1600 and captured this year’s “Spirit Bear Award” (named after Greg’s book “S is for Spirit Bear: A British Columbia Alphabet”).  You are an incredible example to the next generation.  Kudos!!  The two top individual fundraisers who will each receive two Flames tickets are Brynn Makkreel and Matthew Prokop.  Well done!
 
We invite you to enjoy your favorite warm beverage while watching this very meaningful professional tribute video capturing the Kimmett Cup spirit created by our friends Dave Johnson and Joel Lewis from DABU media:  https://www.facebook.com/KimmettCup/videos/568285890338580/
 
We encourage you to share the video with friends and family as we build momentum for Kimmett Cup 12!     
 
Like our Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/KimmettCup) where you are encouraged to share your favorite Kimmett Cup thoughts, photos, and videos!  We have begun uploading some special albums and recap articles thanks to our friends from Howard’s Cove Photography, Jaimie Bird, Dana Stewart, Gerald Gensorek, Mark Ruhl, and Marie-Linda Plante, as well as the teams at The Cochrane Eagle and Cochrane Times. 
 
Special thanks to Rachel Cullen on the incredible Kimmett Cup website she designed and continues to update at kimmettcup.com.  Join our mailing list to stay tuned for updates on next year’s Kimmett Cup!
 
We look forward to lacing up our skates for a good cause together in 2020!

Greasy Hoof Burners

A team of great people and good hockey players.  We, as a team, never played together, however sure to enjoy ourselves with some laughs and hopefully a few goals. We have all played pretty good hockey growing up but first time entering a tournament growing up. We have one player who may join, Sheldon Skamers, as we are waiting on the last player of our team, Brett Pennett ,who is trying to get the dates off from working. So our team isn’t completely finalized but hopefully should be soon. We are all excited to playing in this tournament as it is a great cause and a great time playing Canada’s game.

We started the Powderhorn Pistol’s as a fun local beer team in Bragg Creek, thanks to the owner Rose Dallyn.  Our goal was to enjoy some light hearted and fun outdoor games on our little local rink, have some fires, have some brews, and basically have a blast with like-minded hockey peeps.  We are a tight knit groups of friends who have played hockey together over the last few years, and really enjoy the sport whether it’s competitive or recreational.  We love our local Powderhorn Saloon and can’t wait to play on the bar’s behalf during this tourney, and to meet a bunch of other rad hockey players!

Puck Junkies

Puck: A round , vulcanized piece of rubber that all hockey nuts dream of taking end to end & putting it top shelf or five hole or wherever Mama keeps the peanut butter

Junkies: People like us who are hooked on Pond Hockey

The Puck Junkies started 11 years ago at the first Kimmett Cup: Two families with a passion for the “ Best Game You Can Name “.  Ten Kimmett Cups later, many more families, friends and kids have become part of the Puck Junkie story.  We are all here for the same reason:  A chance to play out our Pond Hockey passion with our kids and friends.  Coaching your kids and friends is one thing.  Playing with them is quite another.  Regardless of age, gender or ability, the thrill of competition and the satisfaction of being part of a team is the same.  And maybe if you’re good enough and the Hockey Gods are on your side, you get to sip from the Shottie Stick ( Yeah Baby ! )

But the reward doesn’t just come from a Win.  It comes many times all through the game:  That “Wow” moment when a teammate or even an opposing player makes a sick move and puts the biscuit in the basket.  Or the tick-tack-toe passing play.  Or maybe the poke check that broke up the 3 on 1 and saved a goal. The laughs when we screw up.  There’s usually some pain along the way too:  The gasping-for-air feeling after a shift too long.  A whack on the shin by a puck or errant stick.  Or when your skate catches a crack and you splat on the ice?  All part of Pond Hockey. All part of why we love the game.  You pay a price but it’s always worth it.

And along the way something very special happens:  You get a chance to be part of making something special happen.  You get hooked.   It’s contagious. You feel it:  How much fun it is to work with old friends and new friends to make the Kimmett Cup happen.  Yeah it’s a lot of work but you almost feel honoured to be a part of it.  And then we see what fantastic things we accomplish when we work together:  The smiles and stories from the Children’s Wish kids.  How much it means to their brothers and sisters and Moms and Dads when a wish is granted.

Thank You Lindsay for the way you lived your life.  It’s what the Kimmett Cup is all about.

Tofield Fighting Snowgeese

Following in the footsteps of another failed GM from a little bit north of Cochrane, the long time Tofield Fighting Snowgeese GM was relieved of his scouting duties over the summer and replaced by his very capable Cochrane based assistant.  The roster has been completely gutted but, unlike the other Alberta team to the north, has no Connor McDavid.  Hopefully the purge of nearly all Tofield content is what it takes to get the Geese over the hump this year.  We look forward to finding out.

ACH Avengers

We are the ACH Avengers. We are an awesome team of nurses, residents, pediatricians, and family members!  No secrets on this team; not very many of us are aspiring Sidney Crosbys or Alexander Ovechkins.  But what we do have is star player, Owen Gallant! He’s the guy we look to when we need the clutch power play goal in the 3rd period, or big hit on open ice on the opposing team’s ringer!!

All of us Avengers do have one important thing in common, though, and It’s that we play hard and we play with heart!  Many of us work at the Alberta Children’s hospital each and every day, and we are all so excited to be a part of Kimmett Cup 11 this year.

Keep your stick on the ice.

Angels Among Us

‘Angels Among Us’ can mean many things to all of us, and as such I have been inspired with the name.  There are many Angels Among Us, such as Joe, Jason and Reid, the Kimmett Family, and Friends, and the Kimmett Cup Family of friends and volunteers!  All are Angels at work ‘doing’, to encourage, lift up and support the Special Angels Among Us, for those we can do something about now 🙂

The Wish Angels and their families are Angels who demonstrate courage, faith, love, perseverance, and strength, all emblematic of Kimmett Cup, and the way Lindsay played the game of hockey and life!

Past, Present and Future Wish Angel Children and Families are thrust into situations that we can all partner with now, stand in the gap with them, and be there when they need us most!

We all have a story of our Angels Among Us, such as, giving us an opportunity to sew seed into the lives of the Wish Children and their Families. We can do something for them now; provide encouragement to celebrate the life of a Loved One Angel who is dearly missed by us and family and friends; and gather together corporately as a Kimmett Cup Family to encourage one another, making a difference, past, present, and into the future.  Let’s play, celebrate and have too much fun!

Puck Smugglers

This proud bunch of border breachers has been smugglin’ for centuries, long before the days of booze totin’ rum runners.  But pucks haven’t always been their cargo of choice, no sir.  Instead they got their start moving suitcases full of mighty mallards – yes, genuine Canadian ducks – across the 49th parallel.  With the underground duck trade in full force business was booming, and the Smugglers soon became America’s #1 fowl trade partner.  Everything was dandy, superb even, until their neighbours to the South came to a harsh realization in the mid 1900’s: ducks smuggle themselves across the border annually, flapping their wings furiously to avoid the harsh Canadian winter!  Thwarted by mallard instinct, the Smugglers were doomed. About to close shop, their fortunes reversed when a peculiar order form from a misinformed buyer arrived at the office. As they opened the letter they saw a request that would change their lives forever…

“I hereby demand 500 of your finest pucks, in short order!”

We Are Family are back for our 11th year of Kimmett Cup. We are a strange mix of a team – creepy old guys and young women, not usually a recipe for success!  We do make it work though with 2 Rec Division championships in 10 years although our age has dropped us into the non-comp rec division as the old guys cannot survive another long playoff run.  As always we will play in Lindsay’s name as a family of great friends. We wish all a fantastic KC weekend and let’s all do it for the children!!

ACH Wishmakers

We are the team of Pediatric Residents, staff, family and friends and a very special wish family – The Gallants!  We may not have any hockey experience behind us, and staying balanced on our skates will prove to be challenging, but we come excited and ready for this year’s Kimmett Cup! Working at the Alberta Children’s Hospital, we have the absolute pleasure of interacting with children and their loving families.  Although we are early in our training, something has become clear to us very quickly.  No matter how many medications we prescribe, we will never be able to match the therapeutic power of making a child smile.

Jason Baserman, one of our incredible colleagues and tournament organizers, has given us the opportunity to do just that.  Through competing in the Kimmett Cup, we can contribute to granting a child their very own wish and that is a pretty amazing feeling! The passion and energy Jason has put behind this tournament has inspired us all to become a part of it as well.  Whether it is a trip to Disneyworld, or recording a song for the radio, we are proud to join the Calgary community in making dreams come true.  Just don’t expect us to make the hockey highlight reel.

See you on the ice!

BGC Strike & Dip

BGC is back on the ice in 2019 for their fourth Kimmett Cup and is looking to be a presence in the fun division with some new additions to the all-star team!  To geology enthusiasts like us, strike and dip are useful terms to describe rock. To this BGC squad, strike describes the unpredictable shooting ability of the offence, while dip describes the expected decrease in the opponents scoring when coming up against this team’s rag tag defense.  This untested new team of rookies and vets is likely to be full of surprises and is looking forward to having some fun and supporting a great cause.

Returning are the former ‘youth movement’ of the team, and now savvy veterans Max & Ella Kruger, and Marley & Sadie Crawford.  The team is anchored (literally) by Ian Kruger and Reid Kimmett.

It is an honour to play in Lindsay’s memory each year at the Kimmett Cup.  We look forward to being a part of the Spirit of the Kimmett Cup in 2019.

Winners of All Games

“Winner of All Games!“

An extravagant claim, to be sure.

Still, no one would have doubted Lindsay’s sincerity when she proclaimed it after winning a game.  In the fun division, everyone is a winner so well be able to make this boast with the same confidence Lindsay did.
