The Castle Hosts a Filled to Capacity Tournament Over Thanksgiving Weekend
| For the fourth year in a row, The Castle Sports Club in Phoenix, hosted their own version of the Turkey Shoot, which also served as TOUR Pacific Cup Qualifier.
Thirty-three teams sold out the tournament, which started on Friday and concluded on Sunday. All of the top programs in Arizona were represented including Bladeworld, Casey’s, EVI (Tempe), Anthem, Yuma, Prescott and Excalibur.
Look for these elite programs to be competing in future TOUR Pacific Cup tournaments this season, says Dan Maxwell, Castle Hockey Director and Head Coach of the Excalibur program. All of these programs appear to be larger and more competitive than last season. Excalibur currently leads the pack with 10 travel teams (Atom through Junior), including a Bantam AAA team (Stars).
Upcoming Arizona Tournaments include:
February 22-23 at The Castle
March (TBA) at Bladeworld
May 10-11 at The Castle
