Mandatory reference for the presence of José Garrido (Sporting), former European champion and still skating, at 67 years old. The same can be said about Pedro Teles, his teammate.
A highlight for the participation of a team of old Barcelona glories.
Stuar Massama in the +35 years and Sporting in the +50 years were the big winners.
Alexandre Santos, CEO of Catchawards and responsible for the organization, said at the end, that “the balance is very positive and it was clear that this event will take place in Porto Santo in the coming years, believing that next year we will have many more teams, in an event which in itself was huge.”
Bruno Martins, General Director of the Vila Baleira Hotels & Resorts Group, highlighted: “Vila Baleira and the Ferpinta Group have always had a connection with Roller Hockey and it was with great satisfaction that we were able to bring it once again, and now with many more participants, this event, which will certainly mark the Porto Santo calendar in the coming years”.
An event of excellence with a magnificent organization, in a unique location, this was how the majority of participants said goodbye to the first edition of an event that ended with a magnificent gala dinner and awards ceremony, held at the Hotel Vila Baleira.
In the end, the organization also announced the date of the 2025 edition, with the event taking place between April 29th and May 4th, 2025.
