In response to many requests from past participants, the 2011 tournament has been expanded to include more first-round games and more games overall to allow teams more playing time. As always, refreshments will be available throughout the day at the rink for both fans and players.

Patrick Ryan, Chairman of the Hopewell Valley Community Bank, a primary sponsor of the dodgeball event, said, “This is a marvelous opportunity for local businesses to get their employees out of the stores, offices or shops to enjoy some exercise and have some fun.”
