Great Hockey, Great People, GREAT AMERICAN

FALL INVITATIONAL – ABERDEEN, NJ

The Fall Invitational at the Great American Center in Aberdeen, NJ, delivered everything we love about roller hockey! From the competitive games on the rink to the friendships and camaraderie off the rink, it was a fantastic weekend of teams coming together, enjoying the sport, and making memories.

We welcomed some familiar faces and a few new ones this weekend. A special shoutout to Montreal Youpp! for making the trip down and joining us for the event. Always fun watching the skill of the Montreal boys. We also welcomed the Delaware Ghost Crabs, who made their tournament debut! Every first tournament is a learning experience, and the Ghost Crabs took away plenty of lessons that will help them continue to grow. We look forward to seeing them back on the rink!

A huge THANK YOU to the entire team at Great American Center for hosting us and helping make the weekend such a success. We appreciate the hospitality and look forward to coming back!
