Sin City Shoot Out in Las Vegas January 2010

I just wanted to take a moment to touch base with a little information about the 2010 Sin Shootout Street Hockey Tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the last several months we have been fielding inquiries and concerns regarding the 2010 dates and potential conflicts with the Olympic schedule. We have listened to the concerns of the Greater Ball & Street Hockey Community and have moved the dates from February to January in 2010 to avoid any/all potential scheduling conflicts.

To clarify the divisional format: teams/rosters will have to be approved for the C/D and Rec Divisions, just as last year. It should be noted that unlike some advertised "Rec Divisions" that turn out to be of a level comparable to the Novice and lower D Division teams at Nationals, the Sin City Shootout has and will continue to offer a "recreational" division intended for women and men with minimal to no tournament level experience. A/B caliber players are prohibited from participating in the division, with C/D caliber players requiring permission after a review of all team rosters in the division. Basically, the C/D Division is equivalent to Novice and lower D teams at the USA Nationals, and equivalent to mid-level C and below in most Canadian leagues. We've done a tremendous job in maintaining a competitive balance in our events in the past while using this format, and will continue to do so in the future.

To reserve a spot for your team in the 2010 event, you will need to submit a deposit of $250 (U.S. currency) via check or money order to the following:

SoCal Street Hockey Inc.
14623 Poner St.
La Mirada, CA 90638

You may also submit deposits via PayPal to Terry@socalstreethockey.com , but it must be equivalent to $258 in U.S. currency (3% PayPal processing charge included). Included with the deposit will be the following information:

** Team name
** Division of interest
** Location
** League and division team normally participates
** Contact information

To secure a spot in the event, the remaining entry fee balance must be paid in full by December 30, 2009. It should be noted that we do have a maximum capacity of 28 teams each weekend of the event, so

As there is but one non-ice hockey rink in all of Las Vegas, we are limited as to rink time available to us for this event. As such, we continue to employ the roller hockey tournament format to our event (two periods, each 15-minutes running time in length). Once registration has concluded, we will complete the game schedule for the event.

For those who are interested, we have a Facebook Group (Sin City Shootout Street Hockey Tournament) and have some informatiuon posted on the www.socalstreethockey.com website under the tournament section. We are currently working on host hotels and finalizing sponsorships for the event. As further information comes in, we will be posted it on both the website and the Facebook Group.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all regarding the event. I hope this finds you and yours well!

Warmest regards,

Terry Cox

President's note

George Gortsos
ISBHF president

This past weekend I had the honour of becoming the third President of the ISBHF. I believe that as a player and coach I have always strived to play ball hockey in a skilled and team way. Now I have a chance to work with all the great leaders of our sport throughout the World who love the game like we all do. I met some great people in Paris. And I would like to thank the representatives of all our member nations who voted me in on behalf of ball hockey players around the World. This is an honour I will handle with the honesty and hard work that made me a successful player and coach. I want to share the main keys that I will strive to work with my fellow board members to make this game better around the World.
