Doug Jarrett Tournament Honours Teamwork With the hockey season under- way, the West London Minor Hockey Association (WLMHA) is turning its attention to the 2026 Doug Jarrett Memorial Tourna- ment, February 20 to 22, 2026, at multiple arenas across London, including Bostwick, Western Fair, Nicholls, and the London Ice Park. The annual tournament, which the WLMHA has hosted for years, is one of Southwestern Ontario's premier events for U9 through U18 competitive BB and Select hockey. This year’s event has over 120

teams registered, with some coming from as far as Newfoundland. “This tournament is an opportunity to highlight the City of London, our wonderful facility partners, and how deeply loved the game of hockey is in our communities,” says Tait Williams, President of the WLMHA. This tournament, previously the Byron Optimist Tournament, was renamed in 2020 to honour Doug Jarrett, the first London minor hockey player to play in the NHL. Doug’s professional hockey career spanned from 1964 to 1977, playing for the Chicago Black Hawks and the New York Rangers. A back injury forced Doug into retirement in 1977. He passed away in 2014.
“Doug was a part of our community and both his gameplay and impact on hockey in London were something all young players should model themselves after,” adds Tait. “He played in a time when the game was about your teammates and working hard towards a single goal as a team. That’s what the DJ tournament and the game are about.” Visit tournkey.app/live/2026-doug-jarrett-memorial-tournament for game times and locations.
