Youth hockey teams from across Boston will hit the ice to compete for the title of “Boston’s Best” at the 2024 Mayor’s Cup Ice Hockey Tournament. Hosted by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department with support from the Boston Bruins Foundation and P&G Gillette, this exciting event celebrates community, sportsmanship, and the city’s love for hockey.
