TORHS America Changes NICC MAC Conference Championships Venue

TORHS America is pleased to announce a venue change for the first ever NICC MAC Conference Championship. The new location is the Joe Dumars Fieldhouse. Tony Abate, President of TORHS sums up the change as follows, We are excited about the change. The Fieldhouse is nationally recognized as one of the top facilities in the country. We are pleased and excited at what the Fieldhouse brings to a tournament atmosphere.

The tournament will mark the last TORHS regional of the summer and will be held June 18th, 19th, and 20th. The timing allows those teams playing in the 2004 National Championships in Taylor, Mi. from July 1st through July 7th a great opportunity to face some of the best teams in the Midwest. Teams that have not played in a TORHS regional are able to play in this regional to qualify for the National tournament but must participate in Division I. Competitive teams that have been playing in some of the smaller regionals in the area should find the field of teams at the Fieldhouse much more like the competition they will see at the Nationals. For the Fieldhouse, this tournament will replace the Summer Classic, which was to be held the weekend before

The Joe Dumars Fieldhouses already strong tournament line-up just became stronger with the addition of TORHS. For more information on entering this or any other TORHS regional please visit the TORHS website at www.torhs.com. You can also call 770-466-2216 or email Lori at [email protected].
