ESE Hockey is heading back to Florida for the Golden Gator Challenge!

ABOUT:

After playing a pivotal role in the creation of the Paradise Cup, held February 9th-13th in Clearwater, Florida, we're thrilled to return to the sunshine state! The Paradise Cup brought together 26 of North America's top 2009 birth-year hockey teams, including nationally ranked powerhouses like the Dallas Stars Elite, Mid-Fairfield Jr. Rangers, Boston Jr. Terriers, Pittsburgh Penguins Elite, LA Jr. Kings, Little Caesars, and the beloved local favorite, the Florida Alliance.

The event, set against the backdrop of palm-studded beaches and sun-drenched skies, featured a Welcome Party at Hogan's Hangout, with special guest appearances by Stanley Cup Champion Steven Oleksy (PIT), and 2x Stanley Cup Champions Trevor Daley (PIT) and Kris Versteeg (CHI). Adding to the excitement, Clearwater native Brooke Hogan, American television star, actress, singer-songwriter, and media personality, delivered a stellar performance of the National Anthem!

We welcomed over 375 players from 26 teams representing 15 different states, all vying for a single goal. Now, we're thrilled to announce The Golden Gator Challenge, building upon the success of our inaugural event and promising an unparalleled experience for all involved.
