Participation

Each player only may register for one team per divison (Women's and/or Men's/Mixed, not on two teams within a division), and all individuals must be assigned a team regardless of ability.
Women are allowed to play on men’s teams.
Medals are awarded to the top three (3) teams in each division’s skill level.
All ice hockey players will be given a FREE tournament jersey. Your captain will inquire about sizes and we'll do our best to match players with the sizes requested. Teams are not required to take team uniforms, as they may play with their own jerseys, as long as every player on the team has the same uniform.
