The Old Ellicott Cup,

B&O Ellicott City Station Museum, Ellicott City, Maryland, United States B&O Ellicott City Station Museum, Ellicott City, Maryland, United States

  • About the event

    Most people grew up with some experience around a bubble hockey table. If not, they spent time with another variation of a table hockey setup. It's a fun, nostalgic-inducing event to play one and, as it turns out, some of the best in the world live here on the East Coast in the Mid-Atlantic corridor. Not long ago, the team at the World Table Hockey Association (WTHA) partnered with the Washington Capitals to hold a similar event in DC that was wildly popular.

    This event is set for the 250th anniversary of the city of Ellicott City, one of the oldest in America and truly of the most beautiful you will find. We will be staging this event in a historic building to recognize the unique elements that set Old EC apart, while also appeal to the charm of the city as well.

    We're here to have fun, to educate a bit about the game, and really see who the top bubbler in the DMV is in 2022, all while sharing that with an audience on Twitch.

    Why should you sponsor?

    We're hosting a very unique event. Very unique. The win here is that it is being run by one of the top marketing minds in the US who comes up with innovative ways to get publicity for partners when it seems as though all avenues have been exhausted. I like everyone to win and if you gave $500, I want you to get $2000 worth of value from that because I am going to really be able to run with that $500. That's money for Facebook ads. That will help make the Twitch presentation top notch and really allow us to crush the competition and gather the most donations that we can on 9/24. It's about the food bank and the puppies and kitties, man!


    Shawn M. Smith

    I'm a pretty simple guy; 43, and love a children's game very passionately (bubble hockey), but think that putting a tournament together seems reasonable at my age. I have a podcast with my 8-year-old son, Carter, called Potato Salad Marmalade, but that was on hiatus during the school year. We're picking it up again "any day now," but we will be doing all the commentary for the broadcast of The Old Ellicott Cup, so it will be fun to work with him again. 

    I work in digital marketing and have worked on campaigns for Star Wars, Hobby Lobby, Breaking Bad, Universal Music, Sony Pictures, MTV, and more, but I love small businesses and that's where I really excel. I pick up the phone and still call them to tell them where I can help sometimes. I'm putting this tournament together to gather the top bubble hockey talent in the DMV for a competition, have fun and I can put together some money for charities this year.
