Over the past decade, The Odyssey Trust has cultivated strong ties with the United States, notably through the Friendship Four, an annual collegiate hockey tournament held every November at The SSE Arena in Belfast.

 

This NCAA Division I event, the only one held outside the United States. The conception of the tournament originated with a 2010 game between the Boston Bruins and the Belfast Giants.

 

Each year, four U.S. college teams compete for the Belpot trophy, offering players a rare international experience that goes beyond typical NCAA opportunities.
