The 24th annual Esso Golden Ring was held January 15-17, 2010 and hosted Bunny through Open divisions. There were 186 teams in 18 different divisions.
- We hosted 186 teams in 18 divisions – in addition to the 105 Calgary teams there were 59 teams from other parts of Alberta, and 20 out of province teams.
- There were 355 Games on 483 hours of ice. The ice bill was $68,000.00.
- There were 82 on-ice officials refereeing tournament games. Referee game fees for the tournament total $17,400. The cost of “importing” referees and transporting them is an additional $5000. Plus, hotel rooms are provided free of charge to all out of town officials. Transportation is also provided to out of town officials to all of their games through volunteer drivers.
- Thanks to the many volunteers from Calgary teams who filled the more than 600 volunteer slots.
- Participants in the 2010 Esso Golden Ring received a lapel pin, a souvenir poster, a pen and a cinch pack. In addition, coaches packages contained misc. coupons, chips, and donated items.
- Committee members accumulated 372 draw prizes for players, including 186 custom Esso Golden Ring practise jerseys so every team received 2 draw prizes.
- All Bunny and Novice teams (40) received participation medals for their friendship series.
- The Hospitality Night was held for the first time at Crossroads Community Center.
- The EGRT hosted NRL regular season league games at the Open AA level.
- The website was kept up to date with game scores all weekend.
