The Windy City Blind Hockey Showdown IV

Getting Bigger and Better for Number Four!

The Blind Hockey Tournament remains the same, as we move to a new location, include our Canadian, European, and sighted communities in the party, and finally award our very special Cup and MVP trophies for the first time!

The Showdown will be heading to Edge Ice Arena in Bensenville, Illinois for a weekend of community, hockey, and camaraderie. All players are entitled to four games at their appropriate level over Friday, Saturday and Sunday as well as our signature event on Saturday evening.
