A travel hockey weekend tournament can cost a club $12,000+ in ice rental. Margin lives in how tight the scheduling is.
Ice time optimization
- First puck drop 7:00 AM Saturday
- Zamboni flips every 90 minutes
- Last puck drop 9:00 PM Saturday
- Sunday championship by 6:00 PM
Bracket format
3 pool games Saturday, crossover bracket Sunday. Top 2 from each pool advance. Gold vs silver split keeps every team playing Sunday.
Livestreams
Many travel hockey tournaments stream via LiveBarn or HockeyTV. Your schedule feeds the stream automation.
