Sign your team up now for the 16th annual Hockey Beats Down Cancer Tournament presented by the OhioHealth Chiller Ice Rinks

Location: Chiller North (8144 Highfield Dr, Lewis Center, OH 43035)
Dates: Friday, August 22nd to Sunday, August 24th, 2025

The 2024 Hockey Beats Down Cancer tournament was a success, raising over $22,000 for cancer research through the Ohio Health Cancer Care Fund. In fact, we’ve raised more than $75,000 in the past three years! However, as some of you may have noticed, we did encounter some issues with team registrations that have caused us to take a different approach going into 2025.

This year you will register as a team instead of as individuals. Once your team representative has signed up through the Hockey Players in Business event page, we will reach out to capture your team name. The team deposit will be $500. The total team fee will be $2000. If your team has 13 rostered players, that comes out to around $150 per player, aligned with the 2024 individual dues. Collecting fees as a team during registration allows us to better administer the tournament.

If you are an individual and are interested in playing but do not have a team, we have set up a Google Form to capture your interest. We will use this list to either fill roster gaps on registered teams, or possibly look to create a team from the individual interest list. The link to put your name in as an individual is https://forms.gle/d1EBLHE6MYNnDA5N9.

We are also actively looking for corporate sponsors. If you are affiliated with an organization that is willing to donate funds or merchandise for the raffle, please reach out directly to brandon.moskal@gmail.com.

Timeline for the 2025 Tournament:
– May 1, 2025: All team registration deposits are due.
– July 1, 2025: All team registration fees are due. At this time we will need captains to submit their final roster with USA Hockey IDs, contact information, and skill level designation. We will provide the template.

Captains, please note there are two tickets available. Your team will need to have purchased a deposit ticket ($500) AND a team balance ticket ($1500) to be considered fully paid.

Once your team deposit has been processed, we will reach out to get your team name.
