Snoopy's Senior World Hockey Tournament (commonly known as the "Snoopy Tournament") is a major amateur ice hockey tournament held every summer at Redwood Empire Ice Arena in Santa Rosa, California. Charles M. Schulz, creator of the comic strip Peanuts and owner of the arena, started the tournament in the mid-1970s. The teams in each division play a round-robin series, playing each other only once. Teams come from all over the world to play: United States, Canada, parts of Europe, and even Japan. This past year's Snoopy Tournament was held July 10-17, 2010.
