Chicago Field Hockey Club:

CFHC will want to emulate the successes of Chicago Cup 2006. This is home turf for CFHC and while the visiting competition is greatly appreciated and respected, both teams will be looking to test themselves against the visiting opposition.

Denver:

This will also be a first for the team from Denver. With a healthy hockey scene in their region the Denver team should be well prepared for Chicago Cup. Considering that Denver competes mostly in the Southwest part of the country they are an unknown for the teams in the Midwest.

Philaronto:

Runners-Up of Chicago Cup 06, Philaronto is a formidable combination of the Toronto Lions and Team Philly.

Having only lost the finals on a penalty shoot-out, Philaronto will be looking to go all the way this time around.

St Louis:

This will be St Louis Field Hockey Club's second shot at Chicago Cup having finished a respectable 6th (out of 9 teams). Their ranking in the last Chicago Cup is hardly a true reflection of their capability. They proved to be staunch opposition for several teams in the last tournament, narrowly losing to eventual champions Chicago and beating the Mavericks along the way. They are definitely going to be a team to watch at Chicago Cup 08.

Star Hockey:

Is an All-Star team put together by Nadeem Khan a long time icon of the Chicago Hockey Scene. Star Hockey could very easily be this tournament's wild card. Nadeem is sure to put together a strong squad and they are sure to make an impression.

University of Michigan:

This will be University of Michigan's first attempt at Chicago Cup. They are fairly well known in the Midwest Hockey Scene having been regulars at several of the regions tournaments. They will bring a strong competitive spirit to this tournament and should prove to be a tough team to beat.
