What a great tournament with an incedible spirit and sportsmanship from all of the teams!  Even through the unfortunate weather on Saturday, Sunday was some of the best tournament play we have seen in many years. 

For the past several years the Tournament Comittee puts together a video retrospective on the weekend's events to capture the spirit of this tournament.  This year's video is to the song: Fight Song by Rachel Platten.

This year the First Responders Cup Tournament will provide '9/11 Helmet Decals' to all players participating in Tournament. Below is an image of the decal. We hope each player's helmet will have the decal proudly displayed during the tournament play.
