🏒🚨Looking for an incredible hockey tournament experience? Look no further!
What makes for an unforgettable tournament is having close game scores!

🥅 At Showdown Tournaments, we understand the importance of balanced and competitive divisions. That`s why we go the extra mile to assess each team`s level of play, both within their league and beyond.

🚨We recognize that different regions may have varying classification systems - (AA, A, B, C, House Select) and have different meanings across the country. Because of this variance, your team will encounter teams with different eligibility rules or classification systems that may not necessarily correspond to what you are accustomed to in your particular area.

✅ To ensure your team is placed in the right division, we conduct a thorough screening process. It may take some time, but the outcome is truly rewarding!

🔹 We are here to answer your questions or provide more information about our tournaments. Have your coach or team manager send us a direct message.

Let`s get your team registered and ready for an incredible hockey tournament experience!

🏒Yours in Hockey
Brian & Whitney
