Welcome One and All

Welcome to the 2013 Vancouver International Tournament, The VIT! Held traditionally over the May Long Weekend the VIT has enjoyed eighteen years as one of the largest social field hockey tournaments on the West Coast. This year promises to be no different as we once again look forward to welcoming new and old friends alike.

2013 sees Burnaby Lake West Complex play host as our main tournament venue; three artificial field turfs, a beer garden, clubhouse and catering await everyone, rain or shine. There are four tournament divisions this year including a new women's masters division for the over 35's. Vancouver once again waits to welcome you all in what promises to be another hugely enjoyable tournament.
