Does anyone have a schedule or know which levels/teams are participating this year?

I know for sure they've expanded it down to atleast the 1998 level as I just found out one of my good friends son is playing in it, he just told me last night, and his son is a 98 (I don't think they've gone down that far in previous years form what I have been told). He told me they begin play tomorrow and their first 3 games are against the Blades, the Jr. Selects and some team from Arizona. I forget the name of their team but it some compilation of kids from the Chicago Mission, the Madison Caps, a couple MN kids and a couple other kids from Chicago Tier 1 teams I believe, if I saw it I'd rememebr the name because it was kind of quirky.

Could someone tell me is this all quality teams or just a warmup for the blades before the caribou? Are there machine kids playing on some of the teams? Seems odd a team would come from arizona to play. Also, i dont see this advertized, why so secretive?

This has been a 95 Blade Tournament for the last 2-3 years. They've called it "Super Elite", or something, teams are urged to bolster their rosters with guest players. They have had the top 3-4-5 95 AAA teams in the country attend the last few years. Had some great battles with the LA Selects who have been considered one of the top 95 teams in the country the last few years.

An invite weekend of high level competition between just 4-6 teams. Must have decided to expand and add a few other levels.

It does seem odd that there are no published schedules/websites so the avg. fan of good hockey can watch. Is it open to watch ?

97, 98, 99 levels. It's going on all day at Ridder.

Started today and through the weekend. Can't find a schedule online anywhere. You probably need to know someone to find out what teams or go over there if you live close. The only reason I knew the four teams I knew of was because I know a family playing on a team that is in the 98 division.

Was in town working out and training at the U of M this week and caught several games. WOW, good hockey at all levels. Little dudes can skate and dangle.
