Registration fee: $450.00
Each team must consist of 6-10 players with a minimum of 2-3 female players per team (depending on the size of the team). There are three divisions – competitive, recreational, and fun.

It’s time for the 13th Annual Kimmett Cup, a 3-on-3 Co-Ed pond hockey tournament. On February 4-6 at Mitford Pond & Spray Lakes Sawmills Family Sports Centre in Cochrane. They'll be lacing up thier skates and grabbing their hockey sticks in memory of Lindsay Kimmett. The weekend includes games on Friday evening and Saturday throughout the day, followed by a banquet including a live auction. A silent auction is set up throughout the day at the Spray Lake Sawmills Recreation Centre as well as at the banquet. Registration opens in October and is open to around 50 teams. This year, the goal is to raise $100,000 for The Children’s Wish Foundation. Registration is easy, and you too will be lacing up your skates for a good cause!
In 2017 they hosted the inaugural Spirit Bear Tournament in which 8 Cochrane minor hockey teams from Atom to Peewee competed on Mitford Ponds to raise money for Children’s Wish in memory of Lindsay’s late medical school classmate, Dr. Greg Roberts. Greg was an amazing father and friend, a compassionate physician and children’s book author. The team that raises the most money wins the “Spirit Bear Award”, named after Greg’s book S is for Spirit Bear: A British Columbia Alphabet. This year the Spirit Bear Tournament will be held on Sunday, February 2 in support of the Children’s Cottage Society.
Lindsay Kimmett was an athlete, a leader, a learner, and an aspiring doctor with all the skills and ambition to leave a big mark on the world. Since her tragic passing on February 17th, 2008, they carry on her legacy with the Kimmett Cup. The Kimmett Cup is a 3-on-3 pond hockey tournament held annually in January or February at Mitford Pond in Cochrane, Alberta. The tournament benefits the Lindsay Leigh Kimmett Memorial Foundation, a non-profit organization started by Lindsay’s family after her death.
To date, more than $2,000,000 has been invested into the community in Lindsay’s name, across an array of both local and global initiatives including Enduring Valedictorian Scholarships at all 3 Cochrane High Schools, The Dr. Lindsay Leigh Kimmett Prize in Emergency Medicine at the U of C Medical School, Lindsay’s Kids Minor Hockey & Ringette Sponsorships, Spray Lake Sawmills Recreation Centre twin arena addition, Start-up funding for the Cochrane Arts & Culture centre, Base funding for The LINDSAY Virtual Human Project at U of C School of Medicine, benches and picnic tables for Mitford Park, Marathon Quest 250 for Right to Play, Red Cross relief in Haiti, and 50 Children’s wishes through The Children’s Wish Foundation.
