The Tour Scorpions take home some gold medals at Winter Wars West
Youth roller hockey in Florida has been getting very good within the past couple of years and the coaching has been phenomenal. Coaching has really been a difference maker down there and the kids just seem to get better and better.
The Tour Scorpions had a successful trip to the "Rockies", for Winter Wars West, where they took home two divisions. Hopefully we can see more Florida teams take the trip to Winter Wars West (Lakewood, CO) next year!
This year the Florida State Tryouts are travelling back to where it all began in 2005, the Palm Beach SkateZone. Our staff looks forward to another great tryout and some unbelievable talent once again.
Hopefully we will see more players at tryouts this year. You can register now online. See you at the rink!
