2015 AHPA Air Hockey World Championship (0 comments)
It is with great enthusiasm that we would like to formally announce the Inaugural 2015 AHPA Air Hockey World Championship in Colorado Springs, CO, July 24-26. This event will take place at the Chapel Hills Mall, 1710 Briargate Blvd., Colorado Springs, CO, as part of the Rocky Mountain State Games. The Rocky Mountain State Games http://www.rockymountainstategames.org, is the largest sports festival in Colorado hosting over 40 different sporting events this year and expecting over 10,000 participants. It is also a member of the National Congress of State Games http://www.stategames.org which currently has over 25 member states.
As a member of the National Congress of State Games, the Rocky Mountain State Games is an official qualifier for the State Games of America. The State Games of America is a biennial amateur multi-sport event for athletes of all ages. Medal winners from the 31 states conducting statewide sports festivals, known as State Games, are eligible for this event. If we have a great showing in Colorado, other states could add air hockey to their state games as well. From there, once the event is held across the US, it could potentially be introduced as an event in the State Games of America. The growth opportunity that could stem from this event is monumental. This year the State Games of America are being held in Lincoln, Nebraska and they are scheduled to be held in Michigan in 2017.
The State Games of America is the largest Olympic-style sports festival in the nation. SGA 2015 is expected to draw 20,000 athletes to compete in more than 60 sports."

We are extremely excited about this opportunity and the opportunities that this relationship could present in the future. This event will be played on the same Dynamo tables we had for the 2014 event. We are extremely fortunate to have Dynamo's support for this event and also for our new organization. More details regarding the event and registration are available on the AHPA website at [url]http://www.theahpa.com.[/url]
This event is sanctioned by the Air Hockey Players Association. Participants in our professional events will receive an AHPA World Ranking.
PLAY PUCK!
