2010 hockey championships coming to the region
Following a lengthy bid process that produced more than 30 applicants, Reston was selected as one of nine sites to host the 2010 USA Hockey National Championships for the Pee Wee (under-12) division.
After several years in which qualifying league champions advanced to district tournaments to produce 12 national championship finalists, the 2010 games have been restructured to attract up to 48 teams, essentially one champion team from each state.
The format eliminates the district tournament, thus creating a “super-series national,” capable of attracting as many as 3,000 players and fans to Fairfax County.
The tournament will take place April 7-11, 2010, at SkateQuest in Reston.
“This is a great opportunity to put our program on the USA Hockey national radar screen,” Raiders president Chris Kelly said. “Our entire club will come together with the community to make this a truly first-class event for visitors and participants alike.”
