A tribute on the ice
The 2026 Ronin Sharma Memorial Tournament is set to light up the ice at Planet Ice Coquitlam from June 16 through June 19, bringing together current and former Western Hockey League players in a celebration of sport and community.
The four‑day competition will feature divisions for U‑11, U‑13, U‑15, U‑18, Junior A (ages 16‑20), Adult (18+) and Women’s categories, giving participants of all ages a chance to showcase their skills.
Honoring a young dream
All proceeds from the event are directed to the Ronin Sharma Foundation, an organization created to honor the memory of Ronin Sharma, a 16‑year‑old hockey enthusiast whose ambition was to reach the NHL.
The foundation supports young athletes through fundraising initiatives, bursaries, scholarships and other forms of assistance, ensuring that the spirit of ambition lives on in the next generation.
Organizers say the tournament not only raises vital funds but also reinforces the sense of camaraderie among players, families and fans who share Sharma’s love for the game.
