Founded in 1990 by Edmontonian and The Brick founder, Bill Comrie, The Brick Invitational was designed to inspire and challenge U11 hockey players from across North America. A former elite player himself, Comrie chose a career in the furniture business instead of attending an NHL training camp. While he stepped away from the game professionally, his passion for hockey remained strong and inspired the creation of The Brick Invitational, a legacy that also extended to his family, with three of his sons competing in the tournament and two advancing to the NHL. More than three decades later, the Brick Invitational continues to celebrate elite youth hockey and provide a stage for the next generation of players.
