We understand the importance of providing well organized hockey tournaments at a reasonable cost. But it’s not just about the cost that keeps teams coming back. As coaches we have a first-hand knowledge of how teams compare in competition so with practical experience and a superior screening process teams get “real value” by competing in balanced divisions.
