Golf Tournaments The first annual Koocher Brothers' Golf Tournament took place in April of 2000. A group of volunteers from Winegard Motors in Caledonia, along with the help of other community members organized the event and the end result was a huge success. The tournament was played at Chippewa Golf Course in Mount Hope. It was a sell out, raising more than $14,000 for the trust fund. Prizes were donated by local and out of town businesses and individuals. A second golf tournament was held in September of 2000 hosted by business colleagues of Fred Koocher. This tournament was held at Flambourough Hills Golf Course. It was also a great success. Prizes and sponsorships were generously donated and a live auction was also held. This tournament also raised a large amount of money and the proceeds went to the trust fund. Due to the overwhelming response of both tournaments it was agreed that one tournament would be held annually. Each year now, the tournament is organized by the volunteers from Winegard Motors and is held at the end of April at Chippewa Golf Club. The tournament accommodates 180 golfers. It is a four-person team scramble format and everyone receives a prize. There are a few contests that can be entered while on the course for an extra fee. After golfing there is a lovely roast beef dinner waiting at the Caledonia Legion. A live auction is held after the dinner for anyone who wants to attend. The proceeds raised go directly to the foundation. The fee is $75.00 per golfer. Carts are not included but can be reserved. (Charitable receipts issued for $45.00) Minor Hockey Tournaments Each year at Christmas time and the beginning of April, the Minor Hockey association of Caledonia hosts two tournaments in memory of the boys. The Christmas tournament held between Christmas and New Year is the Aaron Koocher Memorial Tournament open to Novice through Bantam players. The Devin Koocher Memorial Tournament is held in April and hosts only Tyke players. Both tournaments draw from all over and are a great success. Today, some of the proceeds raised are donated to the foundation with the rest supporting minor hockey. The Koochers' in the past have donated prizes to the players and are present to hand out trophies to the winning teams. For more information on these events please see the contact page.
