LEVELS---Mites, U8 Girls/Squirts/Peewees/Bantams/ U10/ U12/ U14- (U10 may be put into squirt level if necessary) (H.S. May be added if interest is there)
Low Team Price for eight games and jerseys---Mites,U8 Girls: $1295.00 - Youth Boys & Girls: $1395.00 Bring in as many players as you would like up to 17
All teams will get eight one hour games that will be played in two weekends
Teams will play their first four games in late August/Early September
All teams will then be re-seeded with teams with similar records playing each other for the remaining four game weekend
The teams should be community based best as possible and not AAA teams. It is the perfect way to get ready for the upcoming season
Teams from Alexandria, Bemidji, Benson, Crookston, Grand Forks, Hallock, Roseau, Thief River Falls, and Wadena have already inquired and/or are committed to the league. Levels are filling up fast (especially the squirts and peewee levels)
Only a maximum of eight teams will be allowed at any level for the Super Eight League!!!
The Concept
The Super 8 Challenge Series will give all teams an opportunity to play eight games in just two weekends. This eliminates your commitment to travel while giving the player the opportunity to play off-season hockey.
How it works
The Super 8 Challenge Series will divide into brackets with teams of similar ability in the same division. All teams will play four games in one weekend in late August or early September. After the four games the teams will be re-seeded and play four more games in late September or early October. This will create ultimate parity. The more competitive the game, the more the player gets out of the game. Teams will play at the anticipated level of play in 09-10 season.
Professional Administration
The Super 8 Challenge Series is administered and operated by professional hockey programmers with over 25 years of proven experience. Our team of professionals are dedicated to off-season opportunities for all.
Where will the games be played?
The Super 8 Challenge Series will have the majority of games played at the Neilson Reise Arena in Bemidji. Other arena's will be used as needed.
