"May Doug's spirit of friendship forever live within us and in the tournament that bears his name."

​​​
Captain Doug Vann was taken by a heart attack at the tender age of 44 in 1978. Heart disease and stroke takes 1 in 3 Canadians before their time and is the number one killer of women. 9 out of 10 Canadians have at least one risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Air Canada Pilots are proud to have supported this event since 1979 and are proud to support Heart & Stroke Foundation in Captain Vann's memory. DV2026 YYZ will be held in Toronto, January 13 & 14, 2026. Inquiries can be sent to dougvannhockey@gmail.com.
