This is a photographic and video media dream opportunity, where all the players gather to skate on one sheet of ice to receive the recognition of their families and fans, and later participate in skill and timed events. Mom and Dad don't forget the camera! The competition, pin trading, camaraderie and fun continue, non-stop, through the weekend. Eight arenas (13 rinks) are needed to get it all in! We end this great weekend with the action packed, edge of your seat, excitement of the Tournament Championship Games on Sunday, March 1 at 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM at the Fargo Coliseum. A must see event with all the color, pageantry and excitement of an NHL championship game.

The more than 1800 skaters and coaches, along with their families, and let's not forget the thousands of fans, attend this great 3 day tournament because they know the quality of tournament competition, arenas and staff, along with, hotels, restaurants and shopping in Fargo and Moorhead are of the highest caliber.
