The CKSS Tournament

Beurling Academy, The Montreal Wrestling Club NTC, les Patriotes de St-Cesaire, Royal West Academy and the YMHA all sent athletes to the event. The results were the following:

The Bishop Ryan Invitational

The Bishop Ryan Invitational was also held on Friday December 12th at Bishop Ryan High School in Hannon Ontario. This competition has always been a tough one, as many high school level athletes competing in Matmen, would also compete at this tournament as well. Featuring five mats, the tournament’s level of competition is extremely high and Quebec athletes from the Club de Lutte Lasalle, Heritage Regional High School, Lower Canada College, the Montreal Wrestling Club NTC, les Patriotes de St-Cesaire, the Riverdale Wrestling Club, Tritton Performance and the YMHA hoped to be able to medal at the tournament.

Long been considered one of the strongest tournaments for the younger age groups, the Matmen Classic would now feature international age groups as well as Seniors.
