It’s with great pride that we announce the 2023 Golden Gate Cup, December 2 - 3. We have now hosted this tournament in Northern California for the past 13 years. 

Last year the All-Canadian team lead by Canada’s national team captain Matt Smith, won the Golden Gate Cup by beating NTFA (North Texas) in the final game 6-1. 
 
The All-Canadian team has proven that they are the best Floorball club in North America by being undefeated. Any club or team that wants to challenge them for the top spot in North America Floorball, are welcome to the Golden Gate Cup 2023 to prove them wrong.
 
This is the last tournament of 2023 and the last chance of the year to play some high-level Floorball. Take this opportunity to play against them and many other great teams from all over the North America.

The Golden Gate Cup will be played at The Plex (Also known as, Silver Creek Sportsplex) in San Jose, CA. This is the same amazing facility as past years.
There are plenty of excellent in-house dining options at the Plex. Anything from simple pizza, hamburgers to fancy Sushi. Starbucks is also close by to the venue.
