Ice Hockey and Basketball Leagues

The Ice Hockey League and Basketball League are lodge affiliated leagues. Lodges may enter teams in any of several divisions ranging in skill levels. The Ice Hockey and Basketball Leagues are, like all B’nai Brith sports leagues, insistent on a non-contact policy. this policy enables the League to promote good sportsmanship and camaraderie.

Although many of the teams in these leagues are lodge affiliated, it is not a requirement to be affiliated with a lodge to join either league. Some high school teams have been playing in the leagues for years. Both Leagues begin in September/October and conclude in May.

Bowling League

B’nai Brith Canada does not directly oversee organized bowling amongst its members, yet bowling has been one of the most participated sports activities in B’nai Brith. For over 50 years, there has existed two umbrella organizations, namely, Canadian B’nai Brith Bowling Association, (C.B.B.B.A.) And International B’nai Brith Bowling Association, (I.B.B.B.A.) .

C.B.B.B.A. Embraces leagues from Eastern Canada, including Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Thornhill, Hamilton and Windsor.

I.B.B.B.A. Embraces leagues across U.S.A. and Canada, including all leagues affiliated with C.B.B.B.A.

AFFILIATION Nominal annual fee of $2.00 CAN per person (C.B.B.B.A.) and $5.00 US per person (I.B.B.B.A.).

MEMBERSHIP Open to all men and women over 16 years of age. Recently, both associations agreed to allow membership of (1) entire leagues and/or (2) parts of leagues and/or (3) individuals. Each league may have its own internal rules respecting further qualification for membership.

ACTIVITIES 1. Out-of- town tournaments are held each year, hosted in a different City. The C.B.B.B.A. tournament is held in mid-November. The I.B.B.B.A. tournament may consist of one or two host Cities, each March, on different week-ends. For March 2001, the annual I.B.B.B.A tournament will be held in Toronto. For November 2000, Ottawa will host the C.B.B.B.A. annual tournament.
