Hockey Tournament Tables that Turn a Profit!

No trophy this tournament, but our team netted a nice profit at our tables by offering delicious dishes and beautiful baskets. Check out our menu board!

A great way to advertise what you're selling!  We used a white board (hockey themed of course) and dry erase markers, That made it easy to whip up the menu and make changes on the fly. Other parents raided their kid's rooms for  big art boards.

Big sellers included Chicken Riggies, Walk Away Tacos,  Pork Sliders and Macaroni & Cheese

 

Crock pot city,  Don't forget to bring a power chord to plug them all in.

We sweetend the fundriaisng pot with sweets.  Hockey stick and puck-shaped cookies and half moons sold like hot cakes! 

Caramel applies, half moon cookies and Tim Horton donuts were in demand.  Cleverly wrapped fruit and nut snacks were gobbled up too at our Thanksgiving tournament tables.

With a little bit of luck, you will strike it rich with a lottery basket



or really clean up with a bucket of suds!



Just a few ideas to help you score some big bucks at your next tournament!



( For drinks, consider selling cups or small cartons of chololate milk and plug what the research says about it being so good for hockey players after a game!)

And the first place trophy for coming up with the best selling tournament food goes to....
