The third new tend, taking place indoors, is a goaltender shooting competition. The directed started going outside for new skills competition ideas last year on the Las Vegas Strip.

Women's players have been enthusiastic in the skills competition for a few years now and will rear with Americans Hilary Knight and Alex Carpenter and Canadians Emily Clark, Rebecca Johnston and Sarah Nurse taking part.

Longtime Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo, who was recently inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, is set to take part in the Breakaway Challenge, one of several mainstays along with the Fastest Skater, Hardest Shot and Accuracy Shooting competitions. The winner of each tend earns $30,000.
