To all members of the Cincinnati Steam family (#Steammates past and present, family, friends, fans and supporters), it is with extreme sadness but big picture thinking that we as an organization have decided to suspend operations for the summer of 2020.  In these trying times of such uncertainty it Is inconceivable to try and proceed with any sort of normal preparation and operations for this coming season. 

 

Our league expands across Ohio, into eastern Indiana, the State of Michigan and across the border to Canada.  Our normal 2 month (June and July) playing season will be affected.  To what extent is unknown but in our minds playing 6-8 weeks, putting our host families into a situation of housing young men from other states, our player’s parents having to decide whether or not to send their son away, asking any one person, family or businesses for a dime during this economic uncertainty and potential crisis would be foolish and very very narrow minded and short sighted.

 

We as an organization, since our beginnings in Fall of 2005 and our first game in Summer of 2006, have built this as a family.  Our family has and always will look at the bigger picture and keep in mind the health and well being of everyone we come in contact with.

 

It is our intention to focus our efforts toward our 15th Season starting 14 months from now.

We want to celebrate everything and everyone that we have all together successfully built.  We want to wish everyone good health, stay safe and our thoughts and prayers go out to our players, coaches, friends, family and constant sponsors and supporters during this pandemic. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Management of the Cincinnati Steam
