3ICE IS A NEW AND TOTALLY INDEPENDENT 3-ON-3 PROFESSIONAL ICE HOCKEY LEAGUE IN NORTH AMERICA. BASED ON THE 3-ON-3, FULL-SIZED RINK, OVERTIME FORMAT, 3ICE IS UNIQUELY DESIGNED TO GIVE FANS THE SPEED, SKILL, AND EXCITEMENT THEY LOVE 100% OF THE TIME. EVERY GAME CONSISTS OF TWO 8-MINUTE PERIODS WITH A RUNNING CLOCK TO KEEP THE END-TO-END ACTION MOVING AT AN UNPRECEDENTED PACE. NO PENALTIES- ONLY PENALTY SHOTS. NO LONG INTERMISSIONS OR VIDEO REVIEWS, JUST PURE SKILL, CREATIVITY, PLAYMAKING, AND GOAL SCORING. WHAT THAT MEANS FOR FANS IS ALL HOCKEY, NO FILLER. THE INAUGURAL SEASON-TOUR WILL TAKE PLACE IN 2022 AND WILL CONSIST OF 8 TEAMS. EACH TEAM WILL HAVE 6 SKATERS AND A GOALIE PLUS A COACH. TEAMS ARE NOT BASED IN A PARTICULAR CITY, BUT INSTEAD, ALL 8 OF OUR TEAMS WILL VISIT EACH TOUR-CITY AND PLAY EACH OTHER IN A BRACKET-STYLE FORMAT TO DETERMINE A CHAMPION AT EACH AND EVERY TOUR STOP. THIS IS THE BEST PART OF HOCKEY. THIS IS 3ICE.

It is well documented that roughly 1/3 of all food that is produced is wasted. Many are making great strides to re-use and re-distribute food waste. But few are aware that the biggest impact we can have is by reducing the amount of waste we create in the first place. Spare Food is a culinary innovation company committed to a post-food waste world. We reduce food waste at farms and processors by capturing overlooked and unused ingredients. Using the innovative culinary skills of our co-founder, Chef Adam Kaye (formerly Culinary Director at Blue Hill), we transform these "lost" ingredients into delicious value-add products and dishes that we sell to foodservice, hospitality and restaurant partners, and (soon) directly to consumers.
