Welcome to the Winter Classic!
Calling all B and C-level (Tier 3 & Tier 4) teams. I am accepting teams for this year’s Annual Winter Classic Tournament on December 27 – 29, 2026. This Tournament sells out every year, so register your Team early to avoid missing out. The Tournament will be open to teams at the Mite, Squirt, Peewee, and Bantam divisions. We are currently sending applications across the US and Canada. Acceptance will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Please do not hesitate; this Tournament will fill up quickly.
GAMES:
All teams are guaranteed three games. All divisions will include a championship game. The length of periods will be 3—12-minute periods.
SCHEDULING:
All teams are instructed to visit the Tournament website for schedules. Schedules will be posted on the website about 10 days before the start of the Tournament. Every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate scheduling requests when registering your Team.
AWARDS:
Individual trophies will be awarded to the championship and runner-up teams at all levels. MVP award at each level in the championship game. Team awards for the championship and Runner-up organizations.
All tournaments are held in Hooksett, NH, or nearby, with the main host rink being Tri-Town Ice Arena—home of the newest NAHL Junior Team, New Hampshire Mountain Kings. The main rink has just been completely renovated with new boards, glass, netting, sound system, ceiling, and benches. Many tournaments will feature an exciting Junior game on Friday or Saturday for all teams to watch. The rink has two full-size ice surfaces, each 200’x85’—a Restaurant on site with a liquor license. While dining, enjoying a beverage, or relaxing, you can watch a movie, a sporting event, or a show on one of our large-screen TVs. Tournament monies are non-refundable. All traveling teams must stay at one of the sponsor Hotels listed on the website under the HOTELS link. To reserve your Hotel rooms at discounted rates, please get in touch with your hotel of choice via the website and mention the Tournament to receive the discounted rate. All the Hotels are near the host rink. Your team chooses which Hotel they wish to stay at and contacts the Hotel contact person listed to secure your rooms. We ask all teams to respect the Hotels as if they were their own homes. Any damages can and will be billed to the individuals.
