Fighting Irish Cup! ☘️
The Junior Riverkings are heading back to Notre Dame for the Fighting Irish Cup. This travel tournament features a 4‑game guarantee with action at The Ice Box and the iconic Compton Family Ice Arena on Notre Dame’s campus.
In collaboration with the SWCYHA, the RIVERKINGS SPORTS FOUNDATION is excited to provide a unique development opportunity right in our hometown rink!
We are planning for developmental practices at 10U, 12U and 14U. Additionally, we will look to have a team at each age group to compete at The Fighting Irish Cup at Notre Dame (South Bend, IN), April 24-26. Age eligibility will be determined by a skaters age on April 24, 2026 and not necessarily by birth year.
For those interested in trying out for the tournament team, there will be a $25 tryout fee. Costs will be $125 for all practices. For those making the tournament team, another $200 to cover jersey, socks and entry fee. This does not include travel expenses.
Please register your intentions by entering the information below. Payments can be made via:
