Our History
Our tournament history may be young, but we are proud of the impact we have had on our community and families we have helped. We thank you for your past and continued support.
2021
The year is started it all. In true hockey player fashion, a couple of friends banded together to support their teammate and brother in battle, Tim Devito and his family. Their world was flipped upside down when their oldest son, Phoenix, was diagnosed with Lymphoma.

2022
The next step in our journey, 2022. This time, it was was even better. More people, more hype, and more fun! With a solid leadership behind the wheel, we were fortunate to meet our little hero, Dylan Ortiz and his family. Dylan was also diagnosed with Leukemia and it was an honor to meet an expert of all things Captain America, Godzilla, and Teen Titans. Even the KHOU 11 came out to show us their support. You can see the video on the home page.

2023
With the growing success from year two, our committee set out with one goal in mind for year three: To perfect every detail and only make small changes... And we did just that. Our 2023 hero was Mallory and the Jatzlau family. Mallory was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer that forms in soft tissue. But that hasn't stopped her one bit from pursuing her passion of dancing. She lives up to her nick name... BEAST MAL! 2023 also marked the split in divisions with now both a Rec A/B and Rec C/D.
