Ross Fraser Invitational Tournament 2025
Evan Hardy Junior Girls Basketball
On January 31st and February 1st Evan Hardy will be hosting the Ross Fraser Junior Girls Basketball Tournament.The tournament was established in 1993 by Ross Fraser because there was no junior girl’s tournament in the city and he felt one was needed.
Ross was a very popular coach during his time at Hardy and it was the wish of his players that the tournament to be named after him so that he would always be remembered for his many contributions to the Evan Hardy basketball program.
This year’s tournament features three teams from Saskatoon and five teams from around Saskatchewan.
The weekend will feature many tremendous players who will definitely make an impact on their school’s senior basketball teams in the years to come.

Message From Ross Fraser
Tournament founder and basketball coach:I was so very pleased to hear that the Junior Girls Basketball Tournament was still running.
Congratulations to the Organizing Committee, and the School for all their efforts and hard work.
I would also like to welcome all the players, coaches, officials, parents and fans to this annual event.
Thirty or so years ago we were so pleased to be able to start this event. There were many people that were involved then, and so many more that were involved over subsequent years.
All of these folks should be remembered and thanked for their hard work keeping the tournament going.
I hope everyone enjoys this year's Invitational Tournament and remembers it for the competition, and for the fun they had.
I know that I certainly have many great memories of being involved with this tournament and Evan Hardy basketball.
