Having nearly doubled in size since 2021 alone, this year's Amerigol LATAM Cup will be its largest tournament to date, drawing 44 teams from 21 countries and territories, including Argentina, Brazil, the Caribbean, Central America, Chile, Colombia, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Venezuela. More than 750 players across six divisions, including Men's Divisions I and II, Women's, Youth Under-12, Under-16 and Under-20 division will participate.
Held exclusively at Panthers IceDen in Coral Springs, Florida since its inception in 2018, the annual LATAM Cup tournament is free and open to the public.
"The LATAM Cup has become one of the most highly-anticipated events of the year at Panthers IceDen and we couldn't be more excited for its return," said Vice President of Florida Panthers Foundation & Community Relations John Colombo. "The talent, skill, passion, and energy these international teams, players and fans bring to hockey is incredible to watch and we look forward to welcoming even more fans and families back this year for what will be the biggest LATAM Cup yet."
"To see the LATAM Cup grow from a three-day, five team tournament in its inaugural year, to become a five-day tournament with 44 teams from 21 countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and around the world has been amazing--as it creates greater opportunities for these players on the North American stage," said Amerigol International Hockey Association Founder & President Juan Carlos Otero. "This competition brings together a community of passionate individuals from all over the world to celebrate one another's cultures through hockey, but its diversity and inclusion-building benefits truly transcend the sport itself."
Admission to the LATAM Cup at Panthers IceDen is free and open to the public. The first game kicks off on Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 8:15 AM when Chile and Mexico Lobos face off in the Men's DII Division. The full schedule of games can be found here.
