This is an individual tournament for all Mite, Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam age players by USA Hockey age classification. Participants enter individually and will be randomly placed on a team with other Atoms, Mite, Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam players from different cities/states to form 4 to 6 teams. You will register for what level you played at during the 2024-2025 season. If your player is one of the following birth years (2012, 2014 or 2016) they will have the option to play up to the next level that they will play in this next season. If we do not get enough registrants for the Pee Wee or Bantam levels, we will combine the levels to makes teams.

The tournament will have a maximum of 6 teams at each level with roster of 1 goalie at the Mite level and 1-2 goalies at the Squirt, PeeWee/Bantam level (goalies at Mite, Squirt and Pee Wee/Bantam levels ONLY) and 14-15 skaters. If 3 to 4 teams, then each team will play each team once. If 6 teams, then they will be divided into three pools of two teams each. The tournament will commence as round robin play with each team playing three games.

Win= 2 pts,
Tie = 1pt,
Loss = 0 pts.

If 6 teams, then highest point totals in each pool will play each other for the championship (ie: 1st in Blue Group will play 1st in Red group). If 4 teams then it is run by the points system and the tiebreakers are head to head, GF-GA, and then fewest penalty minutes.

If 3 teams, play each team, points determine playoff positions, 1 team could have 4 games.

This tournament is designed as a fun way to end the season by giving players a chance to play with and compete against players from all over the state and region.
