Missing Quidditch during the winter break, five Ashwinders took part in Cocoa Cup 2014 at Connecticut Sports Center in New Milford, Connecticut. The Game of Thrones-themed tournament consisted of eight teams headed by a captain that were randomly generated based in grouping the player pool by position, gender, and tiers of skill to make the teams as even as possible.

Chaser Joy Yamaguchi became a regular starter on the second-place Targaryen team. She was given a fair amount of playing time in a strong female Chaser lineup. She contributed with a goal and a couple of nice plays on defense.  Ashwinders Co-Captain Derik Wagner served as a depth Chaser on the same squad.
