Joy Hoffman Memorial Tournament


    Joy Hoffman

"A Special Person and True Friend to all
 whose life she Touched"
December 16, 1938 - July 6, 1992

Joy’s motto: 
"I wouldn’t do anything unless I could give it my very best"
Joy organized the local Girls "Ringette" League and continued to work with the sport locally and provincially for 15 years. Joy was instrumental in the establishment of the Northern BC Ringette League in 1985. 

In March of 1988, Joy received the "Sport’s Citizen of the Month", for her dedication to the sport of Ringette. Joy is also an "Honorary Lifetime Member" of the Prince George Ringette Association, and received numerous other plaques of acknowledgment for outstanding achievement to the Ringette Association. 

Joy was involved with many other non-profit organizations during her life. Her volunteer work was a way of life. She was a firm believer in: "you never send your kids, you take them". Joy was voted "Mother of the Year" in 1990 by the Fraternal Order of  Eagles for her active volunteer work in the community, especially with the children.

The first "Joy Hoffman Tournament" was established in November of 1990 to recognize her dedication and commitment to the sport, and became the "Joy Hoffman Memorial Tournament" in the fall of 1992.
