TEMECULA — The Warriors, a renowned travel inline hockey club from Temecula, are always looking to dominate tournaments across Southern California and beyond. Since its establishment in 2008, the club has been making waves on a national and international scale.

In the recent NARCH Winternationals held in Irvine, hundreds of teams from the US, Canada, and Europe battled it out for glory. The Warriors proudly sent five teams (10u, 12u, 14u, 18u & Mens Silver) to compete. The standout performance goes to their exceptional 14u team who clinched victory in the Platinum Division – the highest level of competition. They astounded crowds by defeating the OC Blades 5-1 in a thrilling finals match. Added to their triumph was goaltender Dominic Daniel being awarded top goalie in the competition.

This event is one of many regional tournaments taking place all over the country, culminating with the highly anticipated State Wars Finals in Missouri this August.
