A CALL FOR LOCAL ARTISTS! Celebrating Art and Athletics: Oakville to Host 2024 Centennial Cup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excitement is in the air as Oakville gears up to host the 2024 Centennial Cup, bringing together the nation’s top junior hockey teams for an exciting showdown from May 9 – 19, 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the tournament, Oakville is calling upon its vibrant local arts scene to infuse the competition with creativity and spirit as five talented artists are sought to craft custom artwork for 55 mini hockey sticks that honour the diverse communities of Oakville. The chosen artists will have the opportunity to leave their mark on the Centennial Cup as the sticks will serve as commemorative tokens of recognition, awarded to the Player of the Game for each of the 25 teams competing in the Centennial Cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
