The convenient Founders’ Cup is being hosted by the Orangeville Jr B Northmen from Tuesday, August 16 to Sunday, August 21. This tournament was first originated in 1964. Orangeville won the Founders’ Cup in 1989 and 1990.

This is the first time Orangeville has hosted this championship tournament. A lot of credit goes to the planning committee and the numerous local sponsors which includes local businesses and service clubs. The tremendous support by the local community was evident at the Monday night banquet with members of the Orangeville Lions Club preparing and serving food. The Orangeville Rotary Club helped with set up and cleanup. The numerous McMaster Pontiac Buick shuttle vehicles were very noticeable at the Adler Street Arena. These are just a few examples of the support and generosity being displayed by the local community.
