Cosmic Sports, known for its black‑light baseball spectacles, is bringing the same neon‑infused excitement to the ice with a new venture called Cosmic Hockey.
A Glowing Game Concept
The concept swaps traditional rink lighting for a glow‑in‑the‑dark environment, turning every puck, stick and player into a moving light source that captivates both live audiences and television viewers.
Planned venues include Lake Placid’s Herb Brooks Arena in December and a stop in Toledo in January, each arena sized to hold roughly 7,000 to 10,000 fans.
Family‑Friendly Pricing and Community Reception
Founder Chris Martin emphasizes affordability, aiming to keep ticket prices low enough for families while maintaining a high‑energy experience that appeals to both casual viewers and die‑hard hockey fans.
Early feedback from the hockey community has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the inventive approach and the chance to see the sport in a fresh light.
Talent Search and Training
Tryouts are scheduled for this summer in Boston and Buffalo, followed by a training camp in Lake Placid in October, where college and professional‑level men’s and women’s players will be evaluated for roster spots.
Leveraging Existing Technology
The new hockey property will draw on the same technological infrastructure that powers Cosmic Baseball, allowing seamless integration of the glow‑effect and production tools across both properties.
With a growing roster of venues and a clear vision for inclusive, low‑cost entertainment, Cosmic Hockey is poised to carve out a distinctive niche in the American hockey landscape.
