The WPH is proud to present the WPH Icebreaker #4, the fourth 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 closed the park, the referee wore a mask, we allowed a limited number of masked, socially distant fans, while ensuring the players were distanced as much as possible.”

Leo Canales, Jr. and Sam Esser entered the WPH Bubble to renew their rivalry at Clark Park. Canales and Esser played one of the most dramatic collegiate national finals in history in 2018, with Canales edging Esser 11-8 in the final to clinch the individual men’s collegiate title for Lake Forest College. Esser had never defeated Canales, and was aiming to score his first win against the “El Paso Kid” on his home court at Tucson’s Clark Park.
