With the holiday season just around the corner, Wesmen Athletics is once again gearing up for the Wesmen Classic. After 50 years as a men’s basketball tournament, the Wesmen Classic in 2017 will come with a twist as the 51st edition will feature men’s volleyball for the first time. Wesmen Athletics are excited by the change and the new format and want the tournament to be as big a success this year and in the future as it has been for the past 50 years.
This year’s event, scheduled for Dec 28-30, will see the Wesmen host the universities of Manitoba, Brandon, Ryerson, Western Ontario, Regina, Laval and New Brunswick.
With this they are offering a special early-bird price package for all teams. For just $15 a person, teams (minimum five people with tickets ordered before Dec. 20) can purchase a three-day tournament pass. The Wesmen look forward to seeing everyone out at the Duckworth Centre and they’re excited to help people find a new way to celebrate the holiday season.
