TOURNAMENT SANCTIONING
The Challenge Cup is a USA Hockey-sanctioned tournament. USA Hockey rules will be followed with additional CAN/AM Tournament rules. Once you register, a copy of the CAN/AM rules will be available for review. US teams must provide a signed Official USA Hockey Roster 60 days before the Tournament (some states also require a Travel Permit). Canadian teams must submit the necessary Travel Permit and Official Hockey Roster issued by their governing body (e.g., GTHL, OMHA, Hockey Quebec). No team may participate in the tournament without submitting this information.
AT THE TOURNAMENT
Games are underway! Playing Thursday night opens up your schedule for the weekend. Your team’s round robin games will be played from Thursday to Saturday night. (Your game schedule will be available about one week before the Tournament Date.) Playing on Thursday gives your team an opportunity to see and explore more of Lake Placid. Your Olympic Credential provides access and discounts at Olympic Venues. Downtown Lake Placid is full of shops and sites to explore. By Saturday night, Medal matchups for your division will be set. Will your Team have what it takes to make it to a Medal Game on Sunday morning? Along the way, several players from your team will have a chance to show off their skills in our Shoot-Out and Relay event. With so much to see and do, the Lake Placid Challenge Cup is an event for the whole family to experience.
The Challenge Cup is designed to maximize your Team’s experience. CAN/AM has arranged all the details for the weekend, enabling players and guests to get the most out of it. It starts with Thursday dinner. All meals allow for your entire group to eat together. Forty or fifty for dinner? No problem. The tournament hotel’s meal service is designed to meet teams’ needs. They know your group wants to eat together and that they need to accommodate your game schedule. There is no need to wait for reservations or break into groups at several restaurants. Your CAN/AM package includes all of your meals for the entire weekend. In Lake Placid, it’s all about Team. Stay together, play together, and dine as a Team. The Challenge Cup Tournament experience is unlike any other.
