The 2023 Maverick Cup

Cross Check Cancer is a group that battles against cancer through sport and entertaining events in the Calgary area. Kids Cancer Care and Camp Kindle are honoured to once again be the recipient of this year's fundraising donations. Join Cross Check Cancer in their 9th year of fighting cancer by participating in one of their events. Help us carry on the tradition of the Cross Check Cancer Tournament.

In 2011, Dan Finot was eager to do something to honour his mother, who was recently taken by cancer, while bringing people together, united in a common cause. Dan came up with a charity hockey tournament and brought a couple of friends in on the idea. His friends Greg Gerritsen and Patrick Sutherland had also lost family members to the disease and together they built the Cross Check Hockey Tournament. The guys were quick to point out that from the beginning their spouses Jen Finot, Janice Gerritsen and Ashley Sutherland have played a big role in the charity fundraiser. The Big Hearted Mavericks are pleased to help carry this tradition onward.
