The RCCS Chicago Classic is back for its 2nd year. 54 players took the ice in last year's inaugural tournament, and over $285,000 was raised for the Chicago community. Throughout the day there were close to 1,000 spectators who came to show their support, cheer on their favorite players, and watch the highly entertaining and competitive games. The RCCS Chicago Classic is first of two annual Ice Hockey Tournaments run by the organization, as the RCCS Hockey Classic is held in the NY/ NJ area during the springtime. These Tournaments were designed to encourage their participants to raise money for a wonderful cause, while having a great time in a competitive and fun environment. This Year the Tournament is scheduled to take place at the newly built state of the art facility; Fifth Third Ice Arena.
Fifth Third Arena is the practice home for the Chicago Blackhawks. The facility is also home to youth and high school hockey clubs, elite level tournaments, and fundraising events.

Reminder: the primary purpose of this event is a charity fundraiser. We are here to help those families struggling with cancer. This style of fundraiser is very common, and donations can be solicited from friends, family, and co-workers. This is a team commitment, and fundraising effort. Coordinate with your team captain regarding community efforts. Each person is still required to raise funds. The staff at RCCS will be happy to assist you in any way possible.
