Rink assignments? Seriously? You are referencing the Tournament that is TWO MONTHS away yet?

Any idea what kind of soup at the concession stand this year?

I'm sorry. Not sure why you care? Because you feel the need to know. My out of town parents want to know where the rink it located. Since the tournament at our age group is full. And they know what rinks they're using. Not sure what your concern is?

Relax a little... No concerns, and certianly no need to say sorry, but if your seriously wondering about, even a pretty well run tourney like the Caribou, having rink assignments done two months early, I think your a bit on the anxious side. Heck, the last Tournament I was at we received the Game schedule 5 days prior to.

The list is very helpful!

When will the schedule and rink assignments be released?

Is Sikich the new owner of the Icemen?

Schedule is now posted.

What a joke, they mixed the invite and open teams in the 03 level and only give 4 games, i'm not sure if thats fair to the open teams.

Who are the Midwest Wolves in the 99 age group? Where are they from?

What is so bad with playing better teams? Development is key. Marathon not sprint.

my problem isnt the opens playing the invites, I agree its good for the opens and an eye opener for most parents who think their kids are going to play in the NHL, again my problem is only offering 4 games and only 4 teams making the championship round. This tournament is the end for most AAA seasons so not offering the lower teams an opportunity to skate on sunday is wrong even if its for 5th or 7th,

I would be surprised if there wasn't a dominant team at the 03 level.
