The 16th Annual Joe Raymond Memorial Holiday Hockey Classic

Welcome to the 16th Annual JRM. This is an independent tournament that is financed by the Joe Raymond Memorial Fund. We replenish this fund with proceeds from the gate during the tournament and a golf outing held each summer.

We do not charge the teams a fee; it is free to them. To put that into perspective, if they were to host three home games, the cost would be close to $2K.

There will be three games each night with the 16th Annual Champion crowned the last evening.

Joe loved tournaments and we felt that if we were to hold one in his name, we would do it right. We furnish all the players with a long sleeved t-shirt with the tournament logo, and give the coaching staffs a golf shirt with the logo. We give each player and coach food tickets and drink tickets to be used at the Nagawaukee concession.

We also give six fleece sweatshirts made with the tourney logo and the words “2014 All Tournament Team” on it to the six players chosen throughout the tournament. We have been fortunate to have D1 players and an NHL player receive these in the past.

Please examine the two trophies in the lobby and read the names of the past winners. The JRM sculpture trophy was made by Joe’s wife, Cindy.  

We have been fortunate to have some very good teams over the years.

This tournament has always had some very competitive games. We look forward to more of those this year.

Being a six team tourney, we have had to establish tiebreakers in case they are needed. Thus, every goal will be important in this tournament. The teams that can play a full 51 minutes can be rewarded. Good luck to all teams!

We would like to thank all of the people who have helped over the years, whether it was working at the tourney, supporting the golf outing, or coming to watch good hockey. We thank you. Specifically, Nick Sanchez and the whole “Nags Crew,” Phil Kuta, Doug Owsiak, Mike Benson, Mike Helker, Charlie Hall, Mike Nevins, Carole Marino, Jill Marino, Jackie Kuta, John Zea, Mark Tomchek, Jeff Baldwin, Bill Otis, Steve Chapin, and the whole Raymond family. We hope that you enjoy!
