Tournaments

The Toronto Triggerfish is an active member of the International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics (IGLA) organization and the Champagne Water Polo League. Our athletes proudly carry the maple leaf to multiple tournaments throughout each season. Tournament participation is not mandatory for Triggerfish athletes. Participation is on a voluntary basis.

The following is a partial list of tournaments either hosted or attended by members of the International Gay & Lesbian Aquatics Association (IGLA). If you are aware of other tournaments that should be listed, or changes that need to be made to the information already posted here, please let the Tournament Coordinator know at tournaments@triggerfishwaterpolo.ca.
