Annual NAIOP WINTER CLASSIC and MAJESTIC REALTY CUP THE ICE RANCH, LITTLETON
WHAT IS IT?...HOCKEY WITH HEART The NAIOP Winter Classic is a Hockey Fundraiser sponsored by Majestic Realty Co. and benefiting pediatric cancer research at Children's Hospital Colorado. It's open to hockey ringers, wannabees and benders from the commercial real estate industry. Sign up as an individual player, let us know if you have a wing man, and we will place you on one of our eight Beer league teams.
Majestic Cup Winter Classic Hockey Tournament to Return in 2025
Published June 2024
After much thoughtful consideration, the Winter Classic Hockey Planning Committee, with support from the NAIOP Colorado Board of Directors, has decided to take a one-year hiatus. This break will allow us to regroup and reimagine the event, making it a more sustainable program going forward.
While this may be disappointing news to our players, fans, and charitable partners, this decision allows us the opportunity to elevate the Majestic Cup to new heights. Our goal is to bring back a stronger, more vibrant tournament that continues to uphold the high standards of competition and fundraising that our community has come to expect. We are committed to making the 2025 tournament the best one yet, benefiting our community more than ever.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all sponsors, volunteers, and participants who have supported the Majestic Cup over the years. Your contributions have been invaluable, and we look forward to working with you again in 2025 to create an unforgettable event.
If you or someone you know would be interested in joining the planning committee, please reach out to any of us.

NAIOP Winter Classic Events Recap
Submitted by James Mansfield and Murray Platt, Winter Classic Hockey Co-Chairs
On behalf of NAIOP, we would like to personally thank each of you for being a part of this year’s 8th Annual NAIOP Winter Classic, Majestic Realty Cup. This commercial real estate hockey showcase continues to grow in participation, thanks to your support and generosity for a great cause.

This year’s sold-out event featured 140 players on eight teams, sponsored by the industry’s best; Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors, CoStar, Cushman & Wakefield, First Citizen’s Bank, JLL, CBRE, and Wells Concrete, raised nearly $20,000 for the Children’s Hospital, Pediatric Cancer Research and Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation. Since inception, your participation and generosity has raised $200,000.
Special recognition and thanks to Children’s Hospital Ambassador, Abbie Hoffman, whose courageous battle inspired us all.
We couldn’t have done it without our event sponsors; CoStar, DSP Builders, Wells Concrete, Basements & Beyond, Galloway Engineering, Premier Community Homes, Dawg Nation Hockey Foundation, and of course, NAIOP’s Jayma, Kathie, Karyn and Bekah.
