Pennsylvania - BETHLEHEM (W/C)

August 2-4, 2024

What's included

The 16th Annual Hockey Fights MS Pennsylvania Women's / Co-Ed Tournament will take place August 6-8, 2021.  Registration is open to Women's (C, D) teams and recreational Co-Ed teams.  This division will be completely separate from our usual women's divisions so there will not be any cross-play between women's and co-ed teams.  This division will just be for fun! 


Proceeds from this event will benefit The Multiple Sclerosis Wellness Program at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network in Allentown, PA.  All games will be played at The Steel Ice Center in Bethlehem, PA - a thriving community full of many options for shopping, dining, lodging, and entertainment including the Sands Casino and Outlets.  


Special parking for RV's and campers will be available, however, space is limited.  Permits will need to be purcahsed in advance through our online store in order to gain access to the lot.  An email will be sent to all registered players closer to the start of the tournament and will include additional details.


Also taking place during the tournament is Musikfest.  Presented by ArtsQuest, this 10-day festival will include over 500 musical performances on 15 indoor and outdoor stages located throughout the city of Bethlehem.  Past performers have included Stone Temple Pilots, Maroon 5, Boston, Fuel, Hootie & The Blowfish, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steve Miller Band, Ke$ha, Chicago, Santana and many more!  In addition, Musikfest will also showcase over 60 food vendors, visual arts and craft vendors, and a closing-night fireworks display.  Hockey, live music, and an abundance of delicious food - what could be better?
