Former CMH coach had big impact on his players

Nearly 14 years ago, Joe Raymond died in an automobile accident while returning from a game in Neenah. The Catholic Memorial assistant coach was riding with then-head coach John Marino when their car struck a pick-up truck after losing control on an icy road.

Raymond was survived by wife Cindy, son Joey and daughter Mia.

The tournament to honor Raymond was established in 1999 and is played at the Nagawaukee Ice Arena in Delafield, with this year's games being played December 27-29.

This year's field consists of Mt. Carmel (IL), Catholic Memorial, Waukesha, Janesville, University School, and Waterloo (IA).  

A six-player All-Tournament team will be named and each player on that select squad will receive a fleece with the tourney logo.

Past team champions include University School (2000, 2001), CMP (2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008), Madison Edgewood (2003) and Notre Dame Academy (2009, 2010).
