Team Registration Policies

Acceptance: As mentioned above, registrations are accepted on a first come first serve basis. This preliminary acceptance does not insure placement. To provide a certain degree of reassurance that your team can compete fairly, placement is subject to our screening process upon which your team will notified of its acceptance. We make every effort to accept all applicants, but in good conscience we will never accept a team for the sake of filling a spot as it is our goal to create an atmosphere that is conducive to having a great tournament experience whether your team has a losing record or is undefeated. Tournaments that provide upfront guarantees do not abide by these same standards, and often put teams in bad situations such as uneven competition, or last minute cancellations. A full refund will be issued to teams that are not accepted.

Fees: We have no Gate Fees. When comparing our fees to other tournaments please keep in mind that most tournaments charge family members an admission, or gate fee to watch their children play. These additional fees can add $250 – $300 to the cost of their tournaments, forcing some family members to stay home, and for the ones that attend some heartburn over having to fork over more money just to see their children play hockey.

Games: All teams are guaranteed four games. Please be prepared to play as early as 8:00 AM on the first day of the tournament. Please do not apply if this is a problem.

Hotels: We require that all out of town teams stay at one of our host hotels. Please refer to the Hotel Information page for room rates and to complete the hotel registration form.  Please note that all hotels have a two night minimum stay policy.

Identification: All U.S, and Canadian teams must be registered with their respective parent organization. A certified USA or CAHA Hockey team roster will be required prior to the tournament event, and can be mailed or emailed. Also, please have a copy of your certified roster, and player identification with you at all times during the tournament event.

Trophies: The Gene Harrington Cup will be awarded to the Champions, individual trophies will be present to both the Champions and Runner-ups.

Party: All parents and coaches are invited to join in the party festivities on Friday night at the Sheraton at the Falls. The Party provides complimentary beer and entertainment. For the players, each team receives a pizza voucher. Teams are responsible for organizing their own pizza parties.
