Hockey players from across the province took to Mount Pearl on Saturday and Sunday for the 2016 edition of Hockey Night in Canada's Play On! street hockey tournament.

According to Scott Hill, the national director of Play On!, the Mount Pearl edition of the event is the largest in the country.

"It's 52 rinks, over 1500 games being played," said Hill. "Every 40 minutes there's another game starting in all 52 rinks."

He said it's a great chance for hockey lovers to get out and be active.

"They compete hard, they play for fun... some play to win," he said. "But everyone's really here to exercise, to play, and to celebrate Canada's game."

Win or lose, Hill said everyone that is participating in the tournament is sure to have a fantastic time.
