Tournament Details 

The 10th Annual Hockey Fights MS Vermont Tournament will take place July 21-23, 2017.  All proceeds from this event will benefit The Multiple Sclerosis Center at The University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, VT.  Games will be played at several rinks including Cairns Arena and Leddy Park Arena - located only minutes from the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain. Games will also be played at Stowe Arena, the University of Vermont's Gutterson Fieldhouse in Burlington and The Ice Center in Waterbury - minutes from the Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. Registration is now open for Men's (A, B, C), Women's (C, D), and Co-Ed teams and is based on a minimum of four teams in each division.

Also taking place this same weekend is the 25th Annual Vermont Brewers Festival featuring over 40 brewers. The Brewers Festival takes place in downtown Burlington on the waterfront. Tickets can be purchased through the festivals website starting in May. When purchasing tickets, please be sure to choose Session #1 (Friday, July 21, 12:00 - 4:00pm), as all other sessions could conflict with game play and we cannot guarantee we will be able to schedule your games around your ticket time. Tickets are limited and tend to sell out very fast, so don't delay! Burlington is a great city that features a variety of shops and restaurants including the famous Church Street Marketplace. Bike paths are abundant in Vermont and rides ranging from flat and paved scenic routes along the Champlain shoreline to difficult mountain treks are all just minutes away.
