Local Tournament ?

As I was researching Adult Tournaments in the area, I was shocked to find out there is absolutely nothing hosted in the DC Metro Area. I checked out everything within a 30 mile radius. I found a ton of local rinks I didn’t know existed, youth tourneys, adult pick up times near work (sweet)…but no freaking tournaments! Then on a last ditch effort I searched for “hockey tournaments Washington DC” - instead of Virginia - and hit the Jackpot!




Annual Charity Tournament

DC FIRE hockey is dedicated to giving back to the community, especially to those in need. Each year, in early April, DC FIRE holds a three day tournament that expressly benefits the DC Firefighters Burn Foundation.
This year's tournament is being held April 16-18, 2010
The Gardens Ice House, Laurel, Maryland
$900 per team. Three games guaranteed. Championship games on Sunday.

Basic Info:

The D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation, founded by active and retired Washington, D.C. firefighters, is dedicated to assisting in the recovery and rehabilitation of injured firefighters and burn patients in the D.C. Metropolitan Area. They support burn research, treatment, and rehabilitation programs at Washington Hospital Center as well as the Children's Burn Camp Program. Firefighters and members of the Burn Center have a special empathy for burn victims. No other group witnesses more of the devastation that fire wreaks on the human body and spirit.
The past five years of tournaments have been very successful, with thousands of dollars raised for the Burn Foundation. Our success is due to the dedication of our members, their families, and volunteers who just want to help.

If you or your organization are interested in contributing or being a sponsor of this event please contact us.
No contribution is too small.

This look like something I will definitely participate in and will probably put together an A/B and C Goons team. If you are interested, please let me know! Also, since I have participated in a few Can/Am tournaments in the past I want to share a few fun ones you might be interested in checking out.
