Because Everyone Should Get to Play
Enfield Twin Rinks and the Jacob Roger Poulin Foundation present the
Monday, February 21st, 2022, was an amazing day at Enfield Twin Rinks! For the fourth year, ETR hosted the annual JRP 3v3 Hockey Jamboree and Open Skate to benefit the Jacob Roger Poulin Foundation!
49 teams made up of 229 hockey playing kiddos (our most ever by 16 teams and almost 80 kids!) took to the ice, accompanied by many friends and family who attended the Open Skate as well. The skaters, between ages five to 12 years old, played a 3v3-style jamboree. Donning their jamboree jerseys emblazoned with the number 4 across everyone's back, the little hockey players played their hardest for bragging rights and a jamboree medal. It was an exciting and unique event as the kids got to play four fast-paced games, just under 10 minutes in length each, mixed with skating with their friends and family at the Open Skate. Good sportsmanship and having fun were emphasized because that's how Jacob always played. Today, everyone was on Team J4cob.
Thanks to our sponsors (listed below) and countless volunteers, the jamboree, combined with the open skate, raffle, food and bake sale, merchandise sales and general donations, raised $10,100! Amazing!

An extremely large thank you to the owners of ETR; without Carol’s direction and support, and the generous donation of the ice time by the owner’s of ETR, this event would not have been possible. Thank you to all of the volunteers that made this event run so smoothly. Finally, a ginormous thank you to all the players and families that attended the second annual JRP 3v3 Jamboree and Open Skate! Your faith in and support of this event made it all possible. We are so very blessed to be a part of such an amazing community and can’t wait to make J4cob’s Park a reality.

FAQ
1. What bracket is my player/team?
A: We are try to make the games as fairly matched as possible so that everyone has fun. Some teams may have a game or two scheduled outside of their "bracket", depending on how many teams register to play.
2. Can we have mixed ages on our team?
A: Yes, but please be mindful of skill level and player size of your skaters. We want everyone to be safe and have fun. With this in mind, older players will not be able to play down. Please reach out to events@jrpf.org with special requests.
3. Can I register my player as an individual, without a team?
A: We would really prefer that every player be registered with a team because finding enough individual players of the same bracket has been very challenging.
4. What age is the Open Skate open to?
A: All ages! We want everyone to come out and enjoy this day together. Note: Minors need to be accompanied by an adult and have a waiver signed by their parent/guardian.
5. Do you need goalies?
A: Nope. The ice is split into three sections and uses small goals. No goalies necessary (but we hope they register and play the ice too - this is a fun event for everyone!
