On Saturday for the tournament at Champions Field House, all participants need to park in the DHL parking lot and walk up (a 2 minute walk up the hill).  Please do NOT to park at the ice rink or Rockville Sportsplex, cars will be towed.

Parking at DHL will reduce the bottlenecking of cars in the Champions Field House lot as there is nowhere to turn around once you get in.
