Compete with the Best in Your League

Unlike other youth hockey tournaments, we work diligently to create a fair yet competitive environment for players. We communicate with coaches and managers throughout the season in order to understand the competitive level of each team. We know how important it is to compete against teams demonstrating the same skill level as your own. We match teams based on current standings, ensuring that your children are competing against teams that will create fun competition while still giving equal opportunity to take home the championship.

"This tournament was very well run! The rinks were beautiful and people were amazing. We want to especially thank you for looking out for our team and creating a showcase, since the half ice division wouldn’t have been as fun for us! Hope to see you next year!!"
