Springfest is back, April 27-28 at the art facility at Longplex in Tiverton, RI, located 20 minutes away from scenic Newport! This is a beautiful, top of the line facility, and one of the best rinks we’ve ever been to and we’re excited to be able to host our events here! This is a great place for the whole family with TWO arcades, a pro shop, gym, snack bars and Sports Kitchen, a full restaurant and bar, all onsite!

This year we will be having Women’s A, B, C Novice, U19 and U14. Our C Novice division is great for those women who have never played tournament hockey and are newer to the sport. We want to give you all a taste of the tournament atmosphere in a fun environment. Teams that attended the Novice division at Oktoberfest/Springfest in the past are welcomed to play again in that division at Springfest.

As with all our divisions, we encourage teams as well as individuals to attend our event. As an individual, you will be placed on a team that’s drafted or in need of players and if you have a few friends that are interested in playing, we can try and group you all together!
