This unique pocket-tourney was originally designed to get all 3v3 participants back to 5 on 5 full-ice mode just before tryouts. This event has quickly outgrown its primary roots and has become an icon for bringing different hockey cultures together for an extremely entertaining and remarkable experience.
Each player will register as a free agent. Before the tournament begins, teams will be drafted as evenly as possible and will play a four game round robin. The top two teams will advance to the finals. Each team will be comprised of up to 15 skaters and 2 goalies.
This has become one of my favorite events and not because of the hockey, but because it is so cool seeing families and kids from all across the state (and even out of state!) play with and against new faces. We are all apart of the Denver hockey family and this event so greatly demonstrates it.
We are always striving to be better. We want to make sure each one of our athletes has an exceptional experience with us. We have been working diligently on finding ways to improve this amazing event which highlights the Colorado hockey culture so beautifully.
The new drafting process will include the entire Hull Hockey Staff drafting teams in the same room much like a fantasy draft. We will also be collecting more accurate data during the registration process!
We love our parent volunteers, but to ensure each player gets equal ice time in a pressure free and extremely fun environment, we are investing in all non-parent coaches to run the benches!
