Old Friends, New Memories: Day 1 at State Wars 22

What an incredible way to kick off State Wars 22!

From the moment the doors opened this morning, the energy around the rinks has been electric. One of the best parts of State Wars is bringing the roller hockey community together, and today was a perfect example. It was great seeing so many familiar faces, reconnecting with old friends, and welcoming new players and families to the State Wars family.

The buzz throughout the building has been nonstop. Whether it was players trading pins, families visiting our amazing sponsors, or fans cheering from the stands, there was excitement around every corner. The pin trading tradition continues to grow each year, creating new friendships and memories that go far beyond the games themselves.

Of course, the action on the rink did not disappoint. Day 1 featured outstanding hockey, with teams from across North America and around the world showcasing their skill, speed, and passion for the game. Every division brought intensity and the competitive spirit that makes State Wars one the premier roller hockey event in the world.

Day 1 is almost in the books, but we're just getting started. We can't wait to see what Day 2 has in store as the competition heats up and more unforgettable memories are made.

Welcome to State Wars 22—let the journey continue!
