2025 Old Ellicott Cup Postponed
To all our bubble hockey players, fans, and friends:
After a period of personal reflection, I’ve made the difficult decision to postpone The Old Ellicott Cup for 2025.
This tournament has meant the world to me, not just as a competition, but as a celebration of community, rivalry, and the game we all love. That said, I’ve realized it’s time to take a step back this year and recharge, both personally and creatively.
The Cup isn’t going away. It’s just taking a breather — and when it returns, it’ll be with even more energy, passion, and puck-slapping intensity than ever.
Thanks for understanding and for always showing up with your A-game. I’ll see you at the table soon enough.
