A huge thank you to Bloomington Bison for supporting the March Meltdown Tournament and helping make this weekend such a special experience for our players and families.

Another thanks to Hayley Williams Athlete who joined us in person to speak with March Meltdown attendees, sharing her experiences playing at the highest levels of hockey and offering advice and encouragement to the many young girls chasing their dreams in the sport. It was an unforgettable experience for our players!

We also want to give a special shout out to PWHL players Shay Maloney from Boston and Lyndie Lobdell from Seattle Torrent for sending a special message to our players and Bloomington Bison fans. Our girls were so inspired hearing from someone competing at the professional level of women’s hockey.

This weekend was an incredible success, and it truly would not have been possible without the support of so many people.

Thank you to all of our vendors and sponsors, the CIGHA Board, our players, and all of the families and volunteers who helped make this tournament run so smoothly.

Your support continues to grow girls hockey in Central Illinois, and we are so grateful!
