Calgary is the Vernon 2014 Royal Bank Cup tournament bid committee's stop this week as they make their pitch to Hockey Canada.. Spokesman Don Klepp says they have put a spin on their presentation, beyond  the usual what  facilities the area has and can they handle the number of people. He says it'll be mid May when it happens and they're pushing it as a tourist destination, a holiday package, as much as a hockey tournament. Klepp says  nearly 300 people signed up to help.  He says "We've raised nearly 7 thousand dollars,that's to finance this bid, it's paid our bid fee of 25 hundred dollars, it's taking us to Calgary, it's paying for the production costs  of putting together our presentation."The winner, between Vernon and Quebec's Terrebonne will be announced at this year's tournament
