Friday games may begin as early as noon.
All hotel rooms for all participants must be booked through our hotel process. This is a stay to play event for all teams whose home rink is 70 miles or further away from the designated main rink of the tournament. Any teams within the 70-mile limit that are planning to get hotels must also go through our hotel booking process. Failure to comply could result in forfeiture of games or disqualification.
Once you submit your application, you will have access to a complete list of hotel options. You then will be able to enter up to five hotel choices and a list of people that require accommodation.
Occasionally, we provide information to purchase tickets to either a professional or college hockey game over a tournament weekend. If you are considering this option, you will need to send us an email to scheduler@bigbeartournaments.com and get this approved in writing before proceeding. If you buy tickets without going through this process, you may have to choose between your tournament game and your outside entertainment.
Please be aware that if your team is traveling by plane, motor coach, or any method requiring payment and/or reservations, we recommend booking with companies that allow for cancelations, refunds, or transferring to a later date without penalty.
