Dear Floorball Partcipants and Friends,
Bienvenue à Quebec! Welcome to Quebec!

On behalf of the Quebec Floorball Association and the 2009 Montreal Open organizing committee, I would like to welcome you to the Fifth Annual Montreal Open Floorball Tournament. We are happy to have you participate in this year's edition! Every fall, interest in our event continues to grow and this year is no exception.

This year, we are excited to hold our event for the second time outside of Montreal in Rosemère, Quebec, about 20 minutes north of the city. As the sport of floorball continues to grow in Quebec, the QFA hopes to reach more players and members and we feel that holding the tournament in different regions will accomplish that. Whether or not you have ever visited the Lower Laurentians and Laval, we are thrilled to have you here! We hope you will enjoy the tournament and have a chance to get acquainted with Quebec's "joie de vivre".

Here's to the spirit of competition: play hard but fair. Above all, have fun! Good luck to all the teams! Bonne chance à tous!

Joe Cadigal
QFA President and Tournament Committee Member
