Frequently Asked Question's

Everyone is welcome, USA hockey teams, AAU teams, EU Teams, Hockey Canada, and independent teams. We have the flexibility allow all teams through our insurance carrier. All tournaments are sanctioned through a sanctioning organization (i.e. USA Hockey) however that is strictly for the purpose of insurance. Our insurance covers all and meets, and exceeds in some areas, that of other sanctioning bodies. Teams have positively communicated their excitement for this by eliminating the barriers to allow different teams to play, especially during fall seasons.
