The Annual Kujan Brothers’ Memorial Wrestling Tournament is a storied tradition that features a full day of wrestling with competing programs from Long Island and sometimes beyond. It is held in honor of two former William Floyd wrestlers, Kevin and Steve Kujan, who tragically passed away in a motorcycle crash in 1984. This event, for the past 36 years, has brought the wrestling community together and helped to keep Kevin and Steve’s memory alive.
