Prince Hoops Inaugural 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament is giving back to the community
PRINCE GEORGE – The inaugural Prince Hoops 3 on 3 basketball tournament tips off this weekend at the Connaught Youth Centre, bringing a fast-paced, high-stakes atmosphere to the heart of Prince George. Starting on Saturday, the two-day event features local athletes competing for substantial cash prize. Beyond the non-stop half-court action, the tournament serves a community mission.
“Relay for life is hosting a concession with all proceeds going to them and their event as well. We’re expecting about 14 teams of four who also will be competing for a $1,400 prize pot, and we’re donating the leftover proceeds to Jumpstart to help bring, recreation for the youth closer to home as well.” says the Director of Community Engagement for Relay for Life Zoe Younghusband.
With this being the first tournament expectations are high and the team is already looking at ways to make it bigger, better and more frequent.
