Every year, hockey tournaments are organized in each village of the lower North Shore. Teams are formed by village and everybody will compete for the first time. We are traveling on snowmobiles to go to each tournament. The hockey tournaments start on Friday afternoon. In the night time, there is a dance with a singer. The kids can come for dancing only Friday in the evening and Saturday, you must be sixteen years old. Some villages organize a community dinner and there is always open kitchen for fast-food.
The tournament lasts one week-end. We arrive on Friday and we go back on Sunday.
From January to March, everybody travels for an unforgettable week-end.
The hockey, the dance and food are fun, but the best thing is to meet people from the Lower North Shore area.

8-10 February: Saint-Augustin
15-17 February: Tabatière
22-24 February: Harrington Harbour
