This year’s Wesmen Classic will celebrate its Golden Anniversary, the big 50.

For 50 years the annual “Holiday Tradition” has showcased the best Men’s Basketball and High School Boy’s tournaments. The Wesmen Classic holds a special place in the hearts of local sports fans, both as a holiday meeting place to catch up with old friends, and as a prime venue to catch some of the best CIS basketball and High School action in the country.

Over the years, basketball enthusiasts and casual fans alike have gathered at the old Riddell Hall, the Winnipeg Arena, the Convention Centre and now in its current home the Dr. David F. Anderson Gymnasium in the Duckworth Centre, to witness dedicated student athletes give it their all in what is still the premier basketball event in the province.
