Chicago Blackhawks Sponsor MU19 National Team!

The world-renowned Chicago Blackhawks have stepped in as a sponsor for the MU19 national team as they see floorball as a perfect partner to hockey.

"The Blackhawks see value in supporting floorball because it is the perfect partner to hockey when you don't have access to ice. Floorball is an exciting and fast-paced game that promotes quick transitions and fluid play while developing hockey skills," says Peter Hassen Vice President of Marketing Chicago Blackhawks.

The MU19 national team can next be seen during the Texas Open at the Elzie Odom Athletic Center in Arlington 14-15^th of March. USA Floorball are excited to have the Chicago Blackhawks support the team.

"For those of us who know floorball, it's easy to see the parallels between floorball and hockey. In fact, many hockey players use floorball as a way to progress in their hockey skills and have fun when they are off of the ice. That's why this year USA Floorball is excited to announce that The Chicago Blackhawks will be supporting the MU19 USA national team in floorball," says USA Floorball president Calle Karlsson and continues.

"For such a renowned organization to be offering their support to our grassroots organization is an honor, as well as a credit to the hard work and dedication that our members put in to helping floorball become a success in the US. We're excited to see what the future holds, go USA!"
