Ice House is Hosting Christmas Tournament
Continuing in their aim to bring the best hockey to Bergen County, the Ice House on 111 Midtown Approach in Hackensack will be holding the Christmas Shootout from December 26th to the 29th. Teams from around the New England area as well as local teams will be participating in this eagerly awaited tournament.
The head of the Ice House hockey department, Dan May, is extremely excited about the event. “Not only do we get to bring in the top talent from the area into our facility, but we will be getting some of tomorrow’s superstars from other regions of the United States, which is always our goal when hosting these events,” said May, who’s squirt AAA minor team will be participating in the festivities.
The Ice House has been on the hockey map since hosting the USA nationals in 2010. The combination of the four ice sheets as well as having the backdrop of New York City has now made Hackensack an ice hockey mecca. With teams ranging from 8 years old to 16 years old, there will be a lot of hockey played after all of the gifts are unwrapped, and hopefully there will be more gifts handed out after the finals.
“There will be a lot of scouts in the stands,” says May. “These kids are coming to the age where scholarships are a very realistic possibility and you can see from the level of play on the ice that failure is not an option, which makes every game extremely exciting to watch.”
