Team Managers will be responsible for securing room blocks for teams with GameTime Travel™ system. Upon registration, Team Managers will be sent their team login information for the GameTime Travel™ system.

Is this tournament USA Hockey Sanctioned?

Our Spring and Summer events are not because we bring in players from all over the world to play together on one team. For these events, OneHockey purchases insurance for all the players and coaches so nothing has to be done on the teams end. Your team manager will need to submit an official, signed copy of your USA Hockey Roster prior to tournament for all sanctioned events. Our in-season Canada Tournaments are locally sanctioned and Hockey Canada sanctioned. The Cincinnati Overtime is an AAU tournament.
