The Archangel Cup Tournament

The Archangel Cup Tournament (now in our 21st year) is an annual tradition with our league and provides players and teams an opportunity to compete in extra games outside our regular season schedule.  All teams are entered into the tournament as part of their registration.  Trophies are awarded to both the tournament champions and finalists and the winners in each division get their team name engraved on the coveted Archangel Cup Trophy.
