Niagara Sport Tournaments provides consistent, competitive hockey tournaments. We are travel hockey parents ourselves, and use that knowledge to provide a great experience for ALL family members. To provide the most balanced divisions, we use myhockeyranking as a starting point and then communicate with each coach/manager to get more information about the team. HOTELS ARE 10-15 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE RINKS!! We cannot stand having to drive 45 minutes from your hotel to each rink. Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Detroit all have this problem. Most of our hotels are in Downtown Niagara Falls, which is 5-10 minutes away from Hyde Park. At Niagara Sport Tournaments, we operate the Hyde Park Ice Pavilion, where 85% of all games are played! This gives us great flexibility and allows us to provide a great Tournament.

Voted #1 Tournament Operator in WNY
We spend hundreds of hours screening each application, and unlike other organizations that run 20-30 tournaments per year, we run 5 tournaments. With more than enough applicants, we carefully place each Team, where the objective of these larger Tournament venues is to fill their tournaments with as many teams as possible.
With 25 years of experience, we have learned that keeping things organized makes it easier for everyone. and for our attendees.
We provide a Tournament schedule 3-4 weeks prior to the Tournament event. Schedules seldom change because we put them through a rigorous approval process, not to mention that all teams have already paid in full, and we typically have a waiting list.
