All players in the tournament get to attend the tournament party free of charge. The party will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, with an open bar, dinner, auction items, raffle items, etc. This is always an awesome time, great for networking and building connections. No band this year, just a great play list of music played in the background.  Adding cornhole and other games this year for the tournament party.

$35 for Non-player event attendees. Attend the networking event, cost includes food, drink, networking and entertainment.  Open to members and guests.

Charity Bonus:

We would like as many members as possible from around the US and Canada to participate in the tournament. Therefore, whatever chapter has the most tournament participants (besides the Cleveland chapter since the event is held in Cleveland) will be able to donate $5,000 to hockey related charity or charities of their choice. A weekend of hockey and camaraderie is the ideal way to build long-lasting relationships. Please consider playing in the tournament (all skill levels are welcome, as we have a weighted scoring system that encourages teamwork). Please promote the tournament in your chapter and in your hockey network.

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR SPONSORS

• The tournament was a great time, and I would in a heartbeat be headed back next year. – Chris Picklo (Detroit)

• To say the 2022 HPIB tournament was “fun” would be an understatement.  It was an amazing weekend filled with plenty of laughs and some great hockey.  Perhaps the greatest aspect of the weekend is the incredible impact it has for the American Special Hockey Association (ASHA).  I couldn’t be more excited for next year’s tournament. – Jared Prior (Cleveland)

• HPIB is a great organization with even better people and the tournament was well run and great!  The connections made at the tourney were meaningful and the competition was a lot of fun.  – Jeff Embree (New York)

• HPIB is a great opportunity to network on the business side of things but also provides former and current players with an opportunity to get to meet new friends and play a game we all love. Thank you HPIB for an unforgettable weekend! – Brady Anderson (Pittsburgh)

• My experience during the HPIB tournament was above and beyond my expectations. Everyone on the tournament planning committee was very welcoming and provided everything needed. It truly showcased how much hard work went into the development of the tourney. I can’t wait to return next year. – Chris Clyne (Indianapolis)

• The annual HPIB Tournament is the must attend event of the year for adult hockey players who care about our game, giving back to our communities and sharing the ice with business professionals who share the same goals.  *3 time attendee – Chris Higgins (New Jersey)
