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.
