What else:

1. Four media personalities — Sarah Baicker, Eklund, Dave Isaac, and Dustin Leed — will captain each of the teams.
2. You will be asked to honestly evaluate your ice hockey skills as part of the registration process. Needless to say, you must know how to play ice hockey and own all of the necessary equipment to play.

4. Participants will be asked to attend the draft.
5. Each player will receive a free team jersey, sponsored by a local establishment, as part of event participation.
6. The tournament will follow a simple formant. The losing team in each of the first two games will play in a consolation game. Then, the winning team in each of the first two games will play in the championship game.
7. The winning team will receive $500.
8. We may also have a banner or plaque made up to commemorate the winners of each annual ice hockey tournament.
9. Participants will only be able to register as individuals and a registrant’s spot is not guaranteed until the registration fee is paid.
10. We will have more details on potential giveaways, perks, etc. coming soon.
11. Registrants must be 18 or older to participate but should be over 21, since we are holding the draft at a bar.
12. Each team will consist of 16 players (nine forwards, six defenders, and one goalie). That number also includes the team captain.
13. If the demand is great enough to have eight total goalies, we will expand registration to include two goalies per team.
14. This is a co-ed tournament.

How can I check to see my registration status?
Click hereto view information our spreadsheet with information on who has registered.How come I can’t register as a goalie?
All of our goalie spots were gone within an hour. Sorry. If you’d like to play, you’ll have to play as a forward or a defenseman.Do you need volunteers?
We do need volunteers, but not many. Since this is a small tournament, we could use two referees, a linesman, and someone to work the scoreboard.I registered but didn’t pay. Now I can’t figure out how to pay for my spot. How do I do that?
Get in touch with us and we will tell you where to send a PayPal payment.

Can’t I just pay you in cash at the tournament?
The only way to guarantee your registration is to pay and the only way we are accepting payments is through PayPal. Sorry.

Do I need to know how to play hockey and have all the equipment to play in this tournament?
Yes, you do.

Will there be any food or beverages provided at the tournament?
The Skate Zone has vending machines and I believe they will have food for sale as well (don’t quote me on that). I recommend that you bring a filled water bottle with you at the very least.
