As the winter turns to spring, DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation along with Yardhouse Creations invite you to join in the fun of the Corn DAWG Competition. While corndogs will be served, the name of the game is CORNHOLE. Bag toss. Tailgate toss. Whatever you call it, you’re gonna need a partner. Grab a fellow tosser and get signed up for a max of 192 team extravaganza. Prize money. Food and beer. Elimination games. Celebrities. Auction and Raffle. AND, because it is DAWG Nation, you know we will be GIVING BACK. 2023 dates are to be announced.
It was an absolutely gorgeous day in Colorado as the hockey community once again came together to lift those up who need it most. We are honored to present Sam Beveridge with a check from Dawg Nation and the hockey community. The bags were flying and the smiles were in abundance as we hosted our first ever Cornhole Tournament! A HUGE thank you to Behind the Scenes Tap House for hosting us, Yardhouse Creations who designed some fabulous boards, DU's Coach David Carle, the always amazing Colorado Sled Hockey, and many others for helping us make this inaugural event a rousing success.

HocktoberFest 2022 was a rousing success, as we literally packed the Blue Spruce Brewing Co to the rafters! The Czechs vs the Germans beer sales ended in a dead heat, so the tie breaker came into play... a riveting Cornhole match in the middle of the bar! It was a tense game as the Germans (Cappy and Nigel) eased ahead at 12-11, only to be squashed by the Czechs (Jan and Milan) as they ran off the final 10 points! But like all Dawg Nation events, GIVING BACK was the crescendo of the evening! Kevin Larson and Mike "Sully" Sullivan took center stage as they were surrounded by those who love them and both received checks to get them back on their feet.
A big shout out to our Czech brewers Jan and Milan for all you do, and yes, the pilsner was perfection! Thank you to all who sponsored, to our incredible volunteers, to all who donated, everyone that attended, cheered, laughed, and joined us in helping to make the world a better place.
