RANDY CARLSON F.A.Q.
What is the Randy Carlson Memorial Tournament?
The RCMT is a benefit ironman tournament held annually. It was originally held in mid-to-late January or early February at the Reynoldsville Rollerdrome. When the pandemic hit in 2020, the tournament was moved to May and played at the outdoor court in Brockway, PA. Since 2021, the tournament continues to be held in May at the outdoor rink.
The tournament began as a way to remember former XHL player Randy Carlson, who passed away from melanoma in 2004. The event began in 2005 and continued in 2006. After a three-year hiatus, the tournament was resurrected in 2010 and has been held ever since.
As of 2020, the Randy Carlson Memorial Tournament is officially a 501c(3) tax-deductible organization. EIN: 84-3350106.
Where do the proceeds go?
The first two tournaments in 2005 and 2006 were meant to remember Randy Carlson and bring awareness to cancer. Thanks to some recommendations from participants, the event began to raise money for charity in 2010.
Since that time, the tournament has raised over $38,000. That money has been donated to several local individuals and families who are battling cancer, to groups like the American Cancer Society, and even to the Hahne Regional Cancer Center in DuBois. In 2021, we raised the most money for any beneficiary to day - $8,000 for Paige Doane.
Who sponsors the event?
We have been fortunate to have several businesses and individuals contribute to the tournament. Dan’s Pro Shop creates shirts for the event at a reduced rate. Several businesses and players help to procure prizes to be used to raise money as well.
What is the format for the tournament?
Teams consist of four skaters and a goalie with no subs. Usually, many teams register for the tournament. In 2018, the event saw the biggest turnout yet with 15 teams in total. Preliminary play determines seeding for a single-elimination tournament.
How do I register for the event?
Registration for the 2024 tournament is closed.
We also promote the event on Facebook on our Facebook Called "Randy Carlson Memorial Tournament."
