 SHOWDOWN TOURNAMENT NEWS

This year we introduce early bird registration with multiple team discounts.  We are also introducing the ADM Model for 8U Mite Level competition.  We will structure games as half ice rather than cross ice, meaning two games played simultaneously from red line to goal lines with bumper board separation at center ice.  We will continue with the 16U/18U divisions, and are happy to announce the introduction of High School divisions.  As for the 16U/18U and High School divisions we are going back to the Showdown Olympic format given the all star game format was not a huge success last year.  Showdown Olympics will continue to be the same as always for the mites-bantam levels.  

The dates below for each tournament are targeted deadlines.  Given the time crunch in January and February to prepare for the Country & Western Showdown and Capital Showdown it is possible that the dates will slighthly changed as we near closer to the actual dates.
