At 43° Sports, we’re not just passionate about hockey — we’re driven to make it cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable for every player who steps on the rink. That’s why we were thrilled to be an official sponsor of the 2025 Colorado Cup, one of the premier roller hockey tournaments in the country with a massive $10,000 prize on the line for the top pro team.
Held at the Parker Fieldhouse in beautiful Parker, Colorado, this tournament brought elite-level competition, unmatched vibes, and an incredible community together for a weekend that delivered at every level. As a local Colorado company, it was an honor to be part of an event that’s doing so much to grow the sport — not just in our backyard, but across the roller hockey world.
Game-Changing Conversations on and off the Rink
We spent the weekend showcasing the 43° Temperature Controlled Hockey Bag and connecting with players, coaches, and fans who believe in elevating their performance through better gear care. And the feedback? Nothing short of amazing.
Itan Chavira – Pro Player & Founder of Dangle Dojo
Itan Chavira, professional roller and ice hockey player and founder of the Dangle Dojo, shared how the 43° bag has transformed his gear routine.
“It’s perfect. Plug it in, forget it, come back and you’ve got fresh gloves, dry gear — everything is clean and ready to go. It’s a game changer,” said Chavira.
“Especially at tournaments like this, playing multiple games a day — the convenience is unreal. No more stinking up your hotel room.”
Itan also talked about the bag being available at The DanglDojo training facility, where he’s selling regualr and custom DanglDojo 43° bags.

Connor Parker – Colorado Cup Co-Founder
As one of the tournament organizers and a pro roller hockey player himself, Connor Parker gave us insight into how important the Colorado Cup is for growing the sport — and why he’s now a proud user of the 43° bag.
“This bag has been a game changer. It keeps my gear dry, the smell down in the car, and I’ve even noticed my eczema clearing up. That’s not just comfort, that’s health.”
Connor emphasized how important it is to get this bag into the hands of players everywhere — for their health, for their families, and for the future of hockey.

Ryan Meltzer – GCU Roller Hockey Goalie
GCU goaltender Ryan Meltzer raved about how the 43° bag makes him feel like a pro.
“Between games, I have dry skates, a dry helmet, warm gloves — it’s like I’m an NHL goalie. I feel mentally sharper and more prepared because my gear is in perfect shape.”
He stressed the mental edge that comes from knowing your gear is ready to go and said the bag’s portability makes it a must-have for any serious player.

More Than a Sponsorship — A Shared Mission
Big thanks to Colorado Cup founders Connor Parker and Max McCutcheon for inviting us into the Colorado Cup family. We’re proud to partner with such passionate people and look forward to building even more together in the years to come.
This event wasn’t just about showcasing a revolutionary product. It was about connecting with players who care about performance, health, and community — the same values we live by at 43° Sports.
If you missed the tournament this year, we highly recommend making plans for next year. You’ll find world-class hockey, an incredible community, and solutions that can truly elevate your game.
See you at the next drop.
