A world hockey tournament for "geeks" could be coming to Moncton by 2012.

Trevor MacAusland, founder of the annual high-tech industry hockey tournament Geeks on Ice, aims to grow the provincial event into a global phenom.

Over the next five years Geeks on Ice, which started as a regional event in the Hub City in 2003, is set to become a unique, global tournament, similar to the World Pond Hockey Championship held in Plaster Rock every year, says the 28-year-old founder.
