After a Herculean effort I have tapped out on trying to get 4 Men's teams to Vegas (Co-Rec is solid with 4 pd, and a 5th possible). Through all my recruiting for men's teams I am fairly certain there are around 30-35 guys who want to play. So with that said, I am going to make one last ditch effort to have a Men's Division. We are looking for at least 40 players to sign up individually,and be placed on teams. Dave Carroll, Matt Street, and myself will form four EQUAL teams. Everyone will play two games Thur, and at least two games Friday.
The cost would be $70 and must be received by June 1, either via Venmo to @AllElite9, or a check made out to Dave St. Aubin and mailed to 13101 Highpoint Curve, Burnsville MN 55337. State the team you play for and your prefered position (F or D). I believe I have four goaltenders lined up already. If we do not have enough on June 1, I will refund your Venmo or return your check.
A/B/C level players are all welcome!
To give you an idea of costs this is the legit airfare posted on Orbitz right now from MSP (I'm guessing a majority will come from there)
depart Wed Sept 13, return Sat Sept 16 (at a variety of good travel times) $178!!! This is Delta, Sun Country, and Spirit. The group I am travelling with will be staying at The Mirage which is going for $215 avg cost per night right now W/Th/Fri. Less expensive options center strip within a block of Mirage.... Treasure Island $163/avg per night Harrahs $144/avg per night, Casino Royale $154/avg per night ($3 bottled beer all the time, guaranteed post tourney hangout Friday! :) If you can get a group of three or four together it's about $60-$70 each per night.
I tried this once before and we were able to attract players from Australia, Japan, Canada, and USA. It's pretty awesome if we pull it off, but time is very very short. Act now if you want to play Brooms at the best possible end destination in the sport!
If you send entry, DO NOT book air fare until you hear from me that we are officially on (that will be June 1 at the latest). AEB is not responsible if you book before that date and the tourney does not fill.
If you are a male already playing in the Co-Rec and want to get more games in, jump in and join the fun!
