If you love playing lacrosse in a community atmosphere and celebrating the game with family, keep reading. Ryan Powell and Mike Riorden have created the Ellicottville Lacrosse Festival to deliver exactly what you’re seeking.
To those who are familiar, Ellicottville, NY is one of the coolest small towns in the world. Small as in population roughly fifteen hundred. Powell’s company Rhino Lacrosse, Riorden, and the local Chamber of Commerce have teamed up to build a tournament with a FUN vibe that showcases the spirit of our game.
Off the field festival fun will include:
- 3 on 3 Mini-Tournament
- Wooden Stick Making Demonstrations
- Wood Stick Game
- Lacrosse Vendors
- Food Trucks
- Dunk Tank
- Powell Fun Zone
- Live Music
The inaugural event is set for September 22-24, 2017, featuring boy’s 3rd-4th grade through men’s Ultra-Masters 50+ divisions of play. Team fees range from $750 to $1,100. Visit Rhino Lacrosse to register now.
Nestled at the base of the Enchanted Mountains, Ellicottville is one of the most desirable areas in all of New York. An area that many refer to as Aspen of the East! We aim to make it an annual destination for lacrosse players and families to visit for years to come. Whether you’re on the field competing in a championship bracket or off the field, players, coaches and families will quickly realize that this venue is a perfect setting for lacrosse and much more.
