🔥 He’sssss Baaaackkkk! 🔥

Please join us in congratulating Nick VanPatten on his appointment as the new NTFA Tournament General Manager! 🤩❤💙

Nick previously served as NTFA Tournament GM in 2022 and 2023, where he led our Nationals teams to back-to-back USA National Championships in both seasons. During his tenure, he also guided our Texas Open team to a 1st Place finish in 2022. 🏆

As the current President of NTFA and Assistant Coach of the USA men's team, Nick is passionate about developing players and raising the level of floorball throughout both NTFA and USA Floorball. One of his guiding philosophies is, "Iron sharpens iron," and he believes that challenging one another every day is the key to building stronger athletes, stronger teammates, and stronger teams.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude 🙏 to Matt Nunez 🤩 for his outstanding leadership over the past year as NTFA Tournament GM. 🌟 Under Matt's direction, NTFA earned a Silver Medal at the Golden Gate Cup and another Silver Medal at the Texas Open. 👏

Most recently, Matt assembled a roster of 11 dynamic players from both NTFA and N2FA to compete at USA Nationals wearing the N2FA logo for the first time in club history!! The team responded with an outstanding tournament, advancing to the bronze medal game and earning N2FA's first-ever podium finish 🥉👏. It was a remarkable achievement and another proud chapter in the continuing story of NTFA. 👊

Nick has also named Ethan VanPatten as Assistant Tournament GM. Together, they look forward to building on the strong foundation that has been established and continuing NTFA's tradition of excellence for years to come. ❤💙

Congratulations, Nick and Ethan! We look forward to seeing what this next chapter brings for NTFA.

Congratulations to on capturing the 🏆 1️⃣st Place title and for hosting an incredible tournament. NTFA knows firsthand the amount of work and dedication required to organize an event of this caliber, and the 2026 Nationals were truly outstanding. 🌟

From the excellent media coverage and professional venue to the strong turnout of teams from across the country, the event set a high standard and highlighted the continued growth of floorball in the United States. It was exciting to see so many players, clubs, volunteers, and supporters come together to celebrate the sport we all love.
A fantastic week all around—well done to everyone who helped make it happen! 👏

Over the years, NTFA's USA Nationals teams have featured many different faces, but one thing has remained constant—the tradition of excellence that has defined our club.❤💙

As we prepare to take the court once again at Nationals, it's a great time to look back at the many players who have proudly worn the NTFA colors and helped bring home a National Championship.🏆🤩👊

A special congratulations is in order for the select group of players who have been part of all 5️⃣ NTFA National Championship teams 🤩:

🏆 Isak Angerstig ( #10)
🏆 Matt Nunez ( #14)
🏆 Dan Torretta ( #6)
🏆 Nick VanPatten ( #47)
🏆 Jari Voutilainen ( #7)

Their longevity, dedication, and commitment to the club have helped establish a championship culture that spans generations of NTFA players.

This year's squad may not be as deep or as experienced as some of the teams that have come before it But championships are not won on paper. They are won through hard work 👊, heart ❤, and the pride 😤 that comes from representing something bigger than ourselves. 🌟

No matter the outcome, we are proud of every player who wears the NTFA crest ❤💙. The faces may change, but the standard and the tradition remain.

Five National Titles. Countless memories. One club.

🏑 It's Almost Game Day! 🏑
🔥 N2FA takes the floor at Adult Nationals, while the NTFA Lone Stars 🌟will represent North Texas at Youth Nationals beginning on Wednesday! 🤩

Good luck to all of our players, coaches, and families traveling to Nationals. We know you'll compete with pride, sportsmanship, and the same tradition of excellence that has defined North Texas Floorball. ❤💙

Go North Texas! 💙🖤🏑

NTFA ❤💙 is excited to once again have a Youth team competing at USA 🇺🇸 Youth Nationals. With 7️⃣ teams registered this year 🤩, the tournament promises to be a fun and highly competitive event, and our players are ready for the challenge. 👊

Good luck to our NTFA Youth team as they take the floor at USA Youth Nationals! ❤💙🏑
