Dear sport friends,

TOO BAD, it happened again… We tried to reach out for the sky, but the virus clipped our wings and sticks again…

For the second time after 2020 we have, based on the special COVID restrictions (unclear situation with travel warnings, travel restrictions, openings of Hotels and Restaurants , prohibition of indoor sport with body contact, no public viewing at the rink) decided to cancel our traditional World Tournament 30, which was scheduled for April 2021.

And now good news, hope is still alive:

We are currently working on all the opportunities to give you and us the chance to arrange a 2021 edition for World Tournament.

Please save the date: 13th to 22nd of August 2021

We feel confident that the world becomes an easier place to live in summer 2021.

Please send a mail if you wanna be part of the summer edition World Tournament 30.
