On February 3rd at Sunrise’s FLA Live Arena, the crème de la crème of the Bettman Circuit will compete in six separate events that will put their skills to the test.
The runaway competitions, the fastest runner, the strongest shot and the most accurate throw are of course on the program as well as the goalkeeper duels. The Splash Shot challenge will also return, as will Pitch ‘n Puck, a game that combines hockey and golf.
As in previous years, some of the best hockey players in the world will take part in these competitions.
