This tournament is a celebration of John and the sport that he loved. Established in 2016, it is a full-day, competitive 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament for both youth (U17, U15, U13, U11/12 & High School Girls) and adult divisions. Held at the Richmond Olympic Oval this year, there will be four full courts in use, plus a BBQ and Beer Garden outside on the Riverside Plaza. The day will be a great opportunity to connect with friends and members of the wider basketball community representing the past 30 years of basketball in BC.
YOUTH DIVISIONS U17, U15, U13, U11/12, HS GIRLS
Our partner, Drive Basketball will be hosting the youth divisions. With over 40 teams we look forward to a competitive and fun tournament. All teams will play at least 3 games in round robin format, before proceeding to playoffs.
ADULT DIVISION
This division is open to players 18 and up. With space for 10 teams, many of John’s former teammates from all levels will be participating supporting John while reconnecting with old team mates and friends. Although there will be much banter, competitive juices will be flowing and so look forward to an entertaining and competitive tournament.

ABOUT JOHN DUMONT
John passed away September 1, 2016 after a one year battle with a rare and aggressive nasal cancer, called Sinonasal Undifferentiated Carcinoma. He was 41 years old.
Basketball was a central part of John’s life. He attended Vancouver College for twelve years, and like his own father and now his sons, he was a proud member of the Fighting Irish. Both John and his wife Trixie played Varsity Basketball for the UBC Thunderbirds and then moved to the Philippines for John to play professionally for several years before they returned to Vancouver to raise their family.
The sport brought immense joy to John, as a player and later as a coach. The friends he made along the way, in both teammates and coaches, were lifelong friends. Watching his three sons play basketball was one of John’s greatest joys.
This tournament is to honour John, and the sport he loved.

Yes! We will have a BBQ going from 11am-6pm plus beer and non-alcoholic beverages. We’ll be accepting cash and credit cards.

Is there an entrance fee for parents and spectators?
No, there will not be a mandatory entrance fee but we will be taking donations at the door if you wish to contribute as the tournament is a fundraiser event.
How many players are allowed on a team?
Each team must have at least 3 players but can have as many players as you’d like. We recommend no more than 5 as the games are short and playing time would be very limited for teams with more players.

Yes. You can park in the Richmond Olympic Oval parking lot. If they are full there is ample street parking in the area. We recommend you park in the city works parking lot – it’s free all day (download street parking map).
