r l ~the 22nd annual Waterâ€" loo Roadbreakers road hockey tournament is going to be a record setter this Saturday, with the lawwyers, video evidence and the tabulators all in place as (lrgill"/t’r\ lill\l' a run at lhl' Guiness Book of Records. The tournament will try to officially become the site of the world‘s biggest road hockey game with more than 260 teams entered to play on parking lot C at the Uniâ€" versity of Waterloo. Roadbreakers go for a world record The only thing holding the Roadbreakers tournaâ€" ment back is making sure all the teams entered show up to play. Shelley Lawrence, from the Central Ontario Developmental Riding proâ€" gram at Pride Stables, which has been the main benefacâ€" tor of the funds raised by this annual charitable event. thinks the incentive of being part of history will be a speâ€" cial motivating factor for the players. Especially since this record has never officially been attempted betore now on we can just keep breaking our own record." "That should do it," said Lawrence, about the more than 1,000 players expected to play. "We‘re actually creatâ€" ing a category this year "That should be enough players to officially create it, and from now on we can just keep breaking our own record." So what goes into being considered for the Guiness Book of Records? What are all the hoops they have to jump through? "They require quite a bit of documentation," said Lawrence. "We are all set up for that." So in addition to a video grapher, there will be photo graphs taken and a lawyer to "That should be enough players to create it, and from â€" Shelley Lawrence Waterloo Roadbreakers By Bos VrBanac Chronicle Staff "They make sure that all of your Is are dotted and you ts areâ€" crossed," said Lawrence. "From there we can submit the full day schedule and the names of all of the kids that have showed up. make sure that all the num bers are enumerated proper Iy. "Then it‘s in Guiness‘ hands. We‘ve got all of our documentation, then it‘s up to them." The Roadbreakers tourâ€" nament has raised more than $200,000 for the local riding program since the road hockey event organizâ€" ers started donating the bulk of its proceeds to the charity, which helps improve the cognitive and physical abiliâ€" ties of developmentally chalâ€" lenged children. There are now more than 320 children that ride in the program. Even more amazing is the way the tournament has been passed on to the next generation of players ensurâ€" ing its continued success, said Roadbreakers coâ€" founder Charlie McMane. "Some of the kids who startâ€" ed playing 22 years ago are now bringing their own chilâ€" dren to the event," he said. And the pursuit of a Guiâ€" ness world record just adds to the lustre of the event. Not bad for a little idea to organâ€" ize a road hockey tourna:â€" ment that just continues to FTOW "As I watch more and more players and their famiâ€" lies enjoying the tournaâ€" ments each year, I see the great strides we‘ve made in raising funds," said McMane "I also realize that more work can be done so more chilâ€" dren can play in this great Canadian grassroots event." The Guiness Book of Records attempt won‘t be the only highlight of this weekend‘s event. Organizers are also going to have a big banner for the players to sign to send over to the Canadian troops _ stationed _ in Afghanistan Lawrence said she saw a program about how the Canadian soldiers have made road hockey a big component of their recre ational activities overseas. And organizers wanted to celebrate that little bit of Canadiana by showing their support for the troops. "They play for what they call the Kandahar Cup, a miniâ€"version of the Stanley Cup," said Lawrence.
