The man who organizes the annual world championships for the classic hockey video game NHL '94 says the tournament continues to grow — and this year, for the first time ever, it will include gamers from outside North America.

The King of 94 tournament, which first started in 2015, takes place this weekend in Toronto. It's played on Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo consoles and controllers — just like when the game was first released in 1993.

Tournament organizer Darrell Sampson of Saskatoon said this year's event will also feature players from Sweden. "Which is really cool," he said. "They knew about the tournament for a long time.

Just timing, finances — those things didn't line up. But this year, they're making a big trip out of it." Sampson said they will compete against gamers from across Canada and the United States — from B.C.
