About the tournament
Groups from all forms of emergency, community service, and business
are invited to enter teams in this friendly non-competitive tournament.
The Rotary Club of Steveston wishes all participants good luck.
Attendance at this annual tournament is by donation, with proceeds
from attendance, player registration, food sales, and prize draws going
towards support of local emergency services, related prevention,
education, and activity.
The tournament is held in memory of Constable Jimmy Ng, who was
tragically killed in the line of duty on September 15, 2002 while
responding to a call when his marked police cruiser was hit by youths
who were street racing.
Constable Ng grew up in Richmond, graduated from Matthew McNair High
School, and joined the RCMP in 1996. He served his first 5 years in
Duncan BC before transferring to Richmond to serve in the community in
which he grew up.
Constable Ng was a member of the RCMP Richmond Detachment, C Watch,
and an active local volunteer. He was also a member of the Coast Guard
Auxiliary Unit No. 7, based in Steveston. As a volunteer member of this
team he had taken part in many search and rescue missions.
With affectionate memory of Constable Jimmy Ng we express gratitude,
admiration and respect to all of our Police Officers, Firefighters,
Coast Guard Personnel, Ambulance Service, and all other emergency
personnel who risk their lives on a daily basis for the betterment and
safety of all.

This year's Jimmy Ng Memorial Road Hockey Tournament was the most
successful ever, with more than $10,000 raised for the RCMP's anti-drug
education program.
Agent Orange showed their superiority in winning their 2nd successive
win in the finals over the RCMP's C-Watch. Save-On-Foods, which finished
second last year, took third place.
The third annual tournament raised a total of $10,687. The money was
raised through the tourney's registration, concession stand, donated
draw prizes, a 50/50 draw and corporate donations.
Midway through Saturday's games, a new Zodiac boat was unveiled for
the Coast Guard Auxiliary Unit #7 during a special ceremony. Proceeds
from last year's tournament had helped to fund the vessel. Jimmy Ng was
a volunteer with the unit when he passed away suddenly while on duty in
September, 2002 when his cruiser was broadsided during a high-speed
crash.
Jimmy's parents, Dr. Chris and Therese Ng, were on hand for most of
the tournament and the dedication of of the new vessel.
Proceeds from this year's event will fund the drug-abuse resistance
education, or D.A.R.E. Program which targets grade 5/6 children with
information about how to resist the temptations of drugs and alcohol.
The anti-drug program is a co-operative effort between the community,
schools and police, with a curriculum that includes presentations on the
effects of drug use and abuse, ways to recognize and resist pressure to
experiment with tobacco, alcohol and other drugs, while bolstering self
esteem and interpersonal skills.
