Inaugural Vikes Basketball "Alumni Hoopfest "

On September 21st, 2013, the Vikes men's and women's basketball teams will host their inaugural Vikes Basketball Alumni Hoopfest. 

This event will not only open the 2013-14 season for the current Vikes teams, but will also be a day to celebrate the extensive Vikes Basketball tradition. 

Hoopfest starts at 1:00 in McKinnon Gym, with food and social to follow at 6:00 at the Strathcona Hotel (919 Douglas St.).

Hoopfest is intended to include alumni of all ages. It includes "play" options for alumni that still enjoy playing competitively and recreational options for those who would prefer to play more for fun. There will be three options of game play:

- 5 on 5 full court high level competitive. Will include many of the current Vikes players

- 5 on 5 full court semi-competitive, co-ed

- 3 on 3 half court recreational

Alumni that do not wish to play are encouraged to come and enjoy the off court festivities. Hoopfest will include a beer gardens in Mckinnon gym and a Kids Zone for alumni with young children. Game play will be between 1 and 4 pm.

All options are $30 which includes food at the Strathcona. 

We encourage everyone to register prior to the event so we can plan for the games.
