🛡️ Travel Insurance – Highly Recommended

We strongly encourage all travelers to purchase a comprehensive travel insurance policy to protect their investment in the trip.

While we do our best to deliver a smooth and unforgettable experience, unexpected events can happen — from illness or injury to flight cancellations or personal emergencies.

Why Travel Insurance Matters:

  • ✅ Deposits and payments are non-refundable after certain dates

  • ✅ Insurance may reimburse you for lost payments due to covered situations

  • ✅ Most policies cover:

    • Trip cancellation or interruption

    • Medical emergencies while abroad

    • Lost, damaged, or delayed baggage

    • Missed flights or travel delays


🏒 On-Ice Activity Insurance (Required for Players)

All participants engaging in on-ice hockey activities are required to carry their own appropriate hockey or sports insurance coverage.

This coverage should include:

  • Injury protection while participating in ice hockey

  • International medical coverage (if coming from outside Europe or the U.S.)

  • Proof of valid hockey insurance may be requested prior to travel

This is for your protection and ours — we want everyone to play hard, stay safe, and have peace of mind.


Please note:

Not all cancellations qualify for reimbursement under every policy — we recommend speaking with a travel insurance provider to find the right plan for your needs.

You are responsible for securing your own travel and hockey-related insurance.
4 The Love of PUCK is not liable for expenses or losses resulting from cancellations, injuries, or unplanned disruptions during the tour.

I’ve known Cas for years and don’t know why I waited so long to go on one of these amazing trips! Best part is you just have to show up and not worry about scheduling anything! Plus you get to meet awesome people and play hockey all over the world! I don’t think there’s anything better than that! This definitely won’t be my last trip!

Known Caz since COVID and he created the opportunity to play when there wasn’t any available. He’s all about the experience. Since that time I’ve done two of the European hockey trips and brought the wife along for a honeymoon on one of the trips. Absolutely awesome experience that’s truly unique. One, the cities that youre organized to play are beautiful. Secondly, for what you get on the trip it’s a squeal of a deal. From traveling large and I charge on a large modern bus that is only 1/3 full, to nice hotels in the heart of old European cities, to not having to plan anything because fun things are always scheduled, to the freedom to explore by yourself if you so choose. And a trip with a purpose, playing hockey. Can you find that type of travel purpose anywhere else? Lastly, and this is the most important facet of Caz’ trips, where else are you going to the opportunity to go with 15, roughly, other like minded individuals to party it up and experience Europe? I didn’t know nearly everyone and by the second day you’re friends in a way that only a trip like this can create. One of a kind experience. And you get to connect with hockey players from other countries who shower you with hostpitality A once in a lifetime experience that will have you coming back for more. Caz is a true pro and has created a special experience that I’m truly thankful I was able to find. Gonna do these trips as much as I can for as long as they’re available.

The trip was a blast, great cities, great sites and great people. It was relaxing to have everything planned and not have to do that. The countries are amazingly beautiful.

I really enjoyed this trip to Thailand! I am not a hockey player, but it was fun to get to know the players and watch hockey games in another country. The trip was pretty laid back with amazing excursions. The places we stayed at were lovely and the side trips were well organized. I had plenty of time to explore and relax on my own, as well. Thanks for a great trip Cas!

4 the Love of Puck has been a constant in my life for the past 6 years. I have met some incredible people and I would recommend anything that they put together from their weekly skates to their hosted tournaments to their international trips. I've had the privilege of joining them on two international trips: one to the thrilling ice rinks of Europe, and the other to the tropical paradise of Thailand. Both were absolutely incredible, and here's why: 1. Unforgettable Activities: They go beyond just hockey! They arrange exciting off-ice excursions that immerse you in the local culture. Exploring historic castles in Europe or snorkeling your way through the Phi Phi islands made the trips truly special. 2. Fantastic Facilities: They partner with incredible facilities, boasting top-quality ice and modern amenities. Whether it's facing off in historic European arenas or playing under the Thai sun, the settings were incredible. 3. Memories for Life: The camaraderie, the thrill of competition, the unique experiences—these trips became more than just vacations; they forged lasting friendships and memories. They don't just throw together trips, they create unforgettable experiences that combine top-notch hockey, amazing destinations, and memories that will last a lifetime. If you're looking for a hockey adventure unlike any other, look no further than 4 the Love of Puck. They've exceeded my expectations twice, and I can't wait for my next trip with them!

Love traveling with these folks! I’ve been on three different trips in countless countries with these hockey fanatics, and I don’t even play hockey. Touring the country sides in the tour bus is the BEST way to travel. You get to see so much, and you don’t have to worry about getting from place to place. The hotel rooms are very nice at each location too. If I could give more stars I would!

Had a great time on my first trip to Europe last year. The trip was well organized and got a great tour of Europe. I am going again the Fall of 2024.
