  1. Message from Sebastian Fortier, President Dear prospective team: Since OneHockey began back in 2004 in Sherbrooke, Quebec, we have seen our program grow from 6 teams to 106 teams this past year and provide the local area of the tournament with over two million in revenue each year. We have hosted over 10 countries, thousands of youth hockey players, families, coaches and scouts from around the world. OneHockey, is the world’s largest international youth hockey tournament hosting players who are elite and born from 1992 to 2002. The kids who participate in OneHockey are leaders in their sport and leaders in their home communities. As a former professional player, and an active hockey player in my youth, I know how important it is to continually learn new skills and establish experience playing for select teams. Through OneHockey, players are able to learn from others across the country or across the ocean. They are able to play for a select team and make international friendships. For those players who need financial help to participate we are proud to provide a scholarship fund which in part recognizes your sponsorship support. I encourage you to apply with your team(s) and you may be selected to take part in our International tournament and give your players, coaching staff and parents, an experience of a lifetime. I thank you consideration Sincerely, Sebastian Fortier President of OneHockey 2009-10 Board of Directors NHL SpokespersonJean Francois Jomphe President and CEOMr. Sebastien Fortier Vice PresidentMs. Angela King Vice President of MarketingMs. Vonya Womack Vice President of SchedulingMr. Gaetan Fortier Manager LiaisonMs. Mary Gilliland

  2. All About OneHockey • Sebastien Fortier’s father, Geatan Fortier started the Sherbrooke International Bantam Tournament in 1989 that was known internationally as the world’s largest and best organized hockey tournament. Geatan Fortier built this successful international tournament on the vision of improving youth hockey and providing an international forum for learning and friendships. Many professional hockey players such as Alex Ovechkin, Danial Zubrus, Yanick Perrault and many more played in his tournaments. • Geatan Fortier not only provided a stepping stone for international hockey but he provided much needed resources to the Sherbrooke, Quebec community to include athletic funds and scholarships as well as hospital donations for advancements. Improving hockey and improving the community was an important part of his mission. After retiring in 1999, he chose to consult for his son Sebastian, who has taken on the task of continuing his father’s legacy by starting OneHockey International Tournament. • The vision for OneHockey is to establish the world’s best attended international Elite Hockey Tournament in the world. The mission of OneHockey is to bring elite level hockey players, families, coaches and scouts to an event that will provide exposure to different coaching techniques and improve the youth hockey program both domestically and abroad.

  8. 2010 Pre Event Press Release OneHockey will be hosting our 7th annual AAA Summer Hockey Tournament in Aston, Pennsylvania located just south of Philadelphia in June/July of 2010. The tournament will host over 200 quality AAA teams from all over the world. The 1998 - 2002 will complete from July 1,2,3 & 5 while the 1992-1997 will hit the ice from July 7 10. The OneHockey International AAA Summer Tournament is the number one summer hockey event, with top competition, scouting and networking opportunities for teams, players, vendors and coaches. In 2009, teams and players from over 10 Countries participated. OneHockey is building a reputation on its ability to expose young players to scouts and showcase the most prominent youth hockey talent from all over North America & Europe by recruiting elite players from teams representing different states, provinces, countries and continents. Team OneHockey allows each player to independently try out for a OneHockey named team. This process of developing state, provincial, or regional teams has proven to be a great experience for the players who; are surrounded by top talent from around the area, meet new friends, get exposed to new ideas and receive guidance from new coaches who communicate techniques related to on and off-ice hockey training. This year OneHockey will allow TOP independent AAA winter teams to enter under the OneHockey colors. Each year we attract stronger competition. This type of environment also enables scouts to analyze how a player handles unfamiliar situations, much like the experience on a national team or a pro-team, at a young age. This enables players to play with new teammates and adapt to playing with players of equal or greater skill. We strongly believe that OneHockey will deliver an experience of a lifetime by combining the best players in the world, scouts, top vendors and an exciting environment for all ages. I look forward to watching you in Aston, Pennsylvania this summer. Mr. Sebastian Fortier President of OneHockey
