IHF All-Stars 2008 Event Info

This inaugural event marks the tenth year for our high school roller hockey league and the Board of Directors couldn't be more proud. While the suggestions have been made before, this year marks a milestone for the league in finally bringing an All-Star event to our roller hockey community - a growing community that stretches across the southland. Following the collaboration by a large number of dedicated people over many months, we are proud to have you join us and hope you enjoy the show!

2008 ALL-STARS' HELPING HOCKEY GEAR DRIVE
Saturday at the Main Gates
The IHF invites you to clean out your garage of old hockey gear and help us to grow our sport by donating your used gear to the community roller hockey program of Chula Vista, CA operated by Jerry Nestlerode of San Diego's CIF Metropolitan Roller Hockey League. Jerry and his volunteers will be present at the gates and grateful for your hockey gear donations to help the under privileged children of this community continue their participation in our sport. Please help to fill Jerry's truck and send him back to San Diego with a smile and well-wishes from all of us in the hockey communities up north. Read the full story...

Filled with highlight-reel action, sportsmanship and trick shots, these best-of-the-best athletes will marvel you with their rink mastery.

Following this game will be a flurry of activities including the naming of the All-Revision teams for both Junior Varsity and Varsity players. Revision Hockey will be singling out 2 forwards, 2 defensemen and a goalie from each division for recognition and awards. Team and publicity photos will be taken and a host of awards from our generous sponsors will be given to our student-athletes and their all-star coaches.
