Kick off the season in style at the Chicago Icebreaker, a premier early-season hockey tournament set in one of the best hockey towns in America.
Designed as the perfect tune-up for the long season ahead, this event brings together high-level teams from across the country for a weekend of fast-paced, competitive hockey.
The Chicago Icebreaker allows players and teams to hit the ice early, build chemistry, and test themselves against well-matched competition. It’s the ideal way to set the tone for a successful season.
Off the ice, teams and families can experience everything Chicago has to offer—from iconic attractions like Millennium Park and Navy Pier, to incredible dining, shopping, and entertainment throughout the city.
All teams must be prepared to play at 8 a.m. on the first day of the event, and all play is scheduled to end by 4 p.m. on the last day.
The schedule will be released 7-10 days before the event start date.
WE NEVER CHARGE A GATE FEE
Disclaimer: We have noticed an increase in teams that have inexplicably withdrawn from events at the last minute causing us to have to re-work the schedule. Please DO NOT make any plans that cannot be refunded based on the schedule you receive.

HOW WE REACHED THE HOCKEY ANSWER™
At The Hockey Tournament Resource™, we believe Hockey families, Players, Coaches and Officials deserve more than opinions. They deserve answers supported by research, experience and practical understanding of the game.
Every question begins with something Hockey people genuinely want to know.
OUR RESEARCH PROCESS
- WE FIND REAL QUESTIONS. We investigate what Hockey Players, Parents, Coaches and Officials are asking and searching for.
- WE SEARCH THE WORLD FOR ANSWERS. We examine relevant Hockey knowledge, coaching practices, available research and expert perspectives from around the world.
- WE COMPARE THE EVIDENCE. We look beyond individual opinions, consider different approaches and identify where the strongest available evidence points.
- WE APPLY REAL HOCKEY EXPERIENCE. We consider how the findings apply to actual Hockey situations, including different ages, skill levels and stages of development.
- WE DELIVER A PRACTICAL ANSWER. We explain what our research suggests, why it matters and what Hockey people can do with that information.
We recognize that not every Hockey question has one perfect answer. Age, ability, experience and individual circumstances can change what works best.
We commit to providing thoughtful, practical answers while being clear about what the evidence supports and where uncertainty remains.
