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 can not stand having to drive 45 minutes from your hotel to get 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 game are played! This gives us great flexibility and allow us to provide a great tournament.
