Florida Atlantic won the 2023 Battle at the Beach and will look to repeat as champions this year. Owls’ Head Coach Christian Long said about the 2023 tournament: “We had an unbelievable experience last year, and it was the first tournament (championship) ever for FAU hockey. So it meant the world to us to get that under our belt.”
Long also made clear Florida Atlantic’s intentions for the 2024 Battle at the Beach: “We have the dates circled on our calendar to defend that title… we are determined to win back-to-back tournaments.”
