Skate City sports will introduce the Inaugural Tom Osborne Invitational sphere hockey event in Colorado Springs, Colorado, named in honor of the longtime Colorado Springs sports Corp CEO who just recently passed away. The event will be held may 28 – may 30 at the Xfinity Roller sports Arena in Colorado Springs.

Organized by the American Rink Hockey Association, the event will showcase the sport of sphere hockey with teams from around the country. sphere hockey is played on quad skates, on a tighter skating surface, with a sphere as well as rounded sticks.

“This is the American Rink Hockey Association’s biggest summertime kickoff competition as well as Skate City sports is proud to be part of it,” stated Robert James, president as well as CEO of Skate City Sports. “The competition is specific to be competitive as well as entertaining.”

Skate City sports will online stream as much as 12 different games across the three days of competition at inlinehockeyassociation.com.

“We’re incredibly excited for sphere hockey to take root in the U.S. as well as for Colorado Springs to be a starting point for this sport as it grows,” stated Doug Martin, acting CEO of the Colorado Springs sports Corporation. “It’s a fitting tribute for this event to bring Tom’s name as well as continue his tradition in sports — he would be proud as well as honored.”
