Imagine if Roman Josi, Filip Forsberg, Matt Duchene, and Viktor Arvidsson hosted a 3 on 3 hockey tournament in Nashville. Fans would rush to Bridgestone Arena to watch Alex Ovechkin, Nathan MacKinnon, Alexis Lafreniere, and Andrei Vasilevskiy compete against the hometown talent.
A remarkably similar event played out on the 13th and 14th, as many of the top sled hockey players in the country descended on The Lab in Franklin to compete in a 3 on 3 small-arena tournament. Players from as far away as Colorado, New York, Boston, and St. Louis arrived in town to hone their small-space skills.
