The WPH is proud to present the WPH Icebreaker #6, the sixth official WPH Icebreaker event since September.

“We want to show people that we could safely hold an event with all of the COVID protocols in place,” stated WPH Executive Director David Vincent. “We allowed a limited number of socially distant fans, while ensuring the players were distanced as much as possible.”

Ruiz and Canales have formed one of the most exciting rivalries in the sport, with Canales defeating Ruiz to win the 2019 Tucson R48 Pre Qualifier and Ruiz defeating Canales to advance to his first R48 semifinal at the 2020 R48LTE Mardi Gras.

Both brought impressive 3-Wall resumes to their semifinal clash in the sixth Icebreaker, with the winner to play for the prestigious Icebreaker title.
