Why should you choose a Harrington Tournament.    Aside from being the tournament director the late Gene Harrington who passed away as the result of a car accident in 1993 was my father.  I remember all of the time he dedicated to the teams he coached, and the hockey tournaments he ran.  The competition was secondary to the pleasure he took in providing the boys he coach and the teams he hosted at his tournaments an opportunity to have fun playing hockey.  Fun was his #1 objective. As a 13 year old I remember complaining to him that I couldn’t wait until I was 16 so I could drive a car.  His response, “you will be old soon enough and with all the responsibilities that come along with adulthood you  should  enjoy   your youth  while it last!!”   My dad  knew that the  key to enjoyment was savoring the moment, and giving to others without the expectation of getting something in return.  I use his philosophies every time I accept a team, build a division, or interact with the parents, players, and coaches who attend our tournaments.   https://www.usahockey.com/tournaments , hockey tournaments, hockey tournament, new york, buffalo, niagara falls
