Quest for the Crown

As we do with every Quest for the Crown event, we take the month of January to introduce our event to the new hockey players and fans we’ve touched since last summer. We also take the time to explain our overall mission and goals to everyone who has supported our event in the past and for new teams interested in joining our charity hockey festival.

Over the last two years, we’ve come to learn that what our entire event boils down to is people. The players. Their families. The 30+ team captains. And the family-run local businesses that support these players.

When it comes down to our overall mission, we all know it directly benefits the National Hockey League’s Hockey Fights Cancer foundation. Fighting cancer is what we are all about. So as a way to raise awareness and interest in the game of hockey and the league’s biggest fight, we donate a generous percentage of funds raised to Hockey Fights Cancer. To the tune of more than $10,000 to be exact.

That’s pretty good for a bunch of beer league hockey teams.

But the players and teams, and the event itself is so much more than that. It’s a weekend charity festival. It’s a time to play hockey, celebrate the game through different events and experience memories on and off the ice that will last forever.

For our third-annual event, we have chosen a mission that not only provides direct benefits for the players and teams, but includes a more refined, streamlined production. We spent countless hours pouring over hundreds of ideas, but ultimately we kept coming back to the players, their families and the overall team experience.

While that’s not the most clear or coherent description of our mission and goals for Quest for the Crown 3, we guarantee you will come to understand in the coming weeks. Now that we have revealed our new website, which is graciously hosted by 303Software, we can move forward with everything else, from team registration to the posting of silent auction items.

So as you can see, we have some really cool things in store for everyone when the end of the hockey season rolls around. But for now, enjoy the new-look website and get pumped up for what’s going to be one heck of a charity hockey tournament! Our registration form and other festival materials should be post next week, so check back here or feel free to contact us with any questions!

Well hockey fans, it’s the beginning of a new year. And that means it’s time for everyone here at The Hockey Guild to start preparing for our third-annual Quest for the Crown charity hockey festival.

And as you can see, we get to kick things off by revealing our new online digs!

We have a ton of new, interactive features that bring you the latest news and notes from our festival staff. You can even leave comments on every article and even send us your questions and comments instantly through our Shoutbox, which is halfway down the right sidebar.

So allow us to be the first to welcome you to the new-look home for our charity hockey festival, which is dedicated to raising funds and awareness for the National Hockey League’s Hockey Fights Cancer foundation. If you are new to our growing family of Quest hockey players, supporters, sponsors, friends and family, then you’ve found the home of the largest charity hockey event in the Rocky Mountains.

Over the last two years, our event has raised and donated more than $10,000 for Hockey Fights Cancer and hosted over 60 adult hockey teams from all across North America. We host a series of events over the course of four days, all of which are dedicated to the same cause – fighting cancer!

So feel free to join us from April 29 – May 2, 2010 at Big Bear Ice Arena and enjoy our series of events that celebrate the game we love and help the NHL against their biggest fight of all.

Be sure to look around the new website and feel free leave comments on any of our festival events or promotions!
