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.

ASHA Scrimmage:
We will be selecting players from each team to participate in a scrimmage on Saturday, during the break in tournament action, vs. the Cleveland Rockin Wildcats a team of mentally disabled / challenged kids and adults. The Rockin Wildcats are a part of ASHA, which is the beneficiary of the tournament.

“The annual HPIB charity tournament held by the Cleveland chapter is the marquee event of the year, and a national gathering open to all members from across the country to attend. I have played in many other adult hockey league tournaments and those tournaments do not come close to the level of hockey being played nor the social environment. I leave every year having met new people that are added to my network.”
– Kevin Henry (Columbus)

– Chuck Dodge (Indianapolis)

“The HPIB charity tournament is well organized and is one of the best charity tournaments I have played in. Seeing the smiles on the ASHA team when we are playing and getting to know some of them before and after the game is what it’s all about and by far the most rewarding aspect of the game. Getting to make some friends with HPIB members around the country is a bonus. This tournament is always a blast and for a great cause.”

“The annual HPIB tournament is THE event of the year for me. The communication of what to expect, hospitality of when you arrive, energy of the ASHA game and the Saturday night festivities are all well organized and executed. Last but not least, the quality of people who attend this event is top notch. The games are respectful, and the community is real.”
– Cameron Poupard (Columbus)

“The annual HPIB tournament to raise money for ASHA is an absolutely incredible event. There are a ton of ways to describe the energy among the ASHA players but the only way to truly experience what it does is to be there and see the smiles on their faces. It’s absolutely fantastic to see how happy the players are to be involved and how grateful they are for the support from HPIB.”
– Charles Maxwell (Rochester)

“This was my 2nd year attending the HPIB charitable tournament. As my relationships with people have grown, my enjoyment of the event just gets better each year by 10 fold. As much as we all give to HPIB to be a part of this financially, sacrificing time with family, etc. We received 100 fold back. This is food for my soul. Grateful to all the HPIB Leadership – we appreciate your leadership and service.”
– Peter de Jong (Chicago)
