SPRING TOURNAMENT 2026
We aim to run Spring Tournaments from March through June, with 4v4 "Lightning Round" Tournaments in the early going, with smaller rosters and quicker games, guaranteeing 6 hours of game play over Saturday & Sunday before progressing to more standard 5v5 Tournaments later in the season, with a four game minimum split evenly across two days, along with full-ice Mite tournaments. BIA Tournaments are never 'stay-to-play,' and always end with a trophy, t-shirts, and sparkling cider shower for the champions.
Take a look at the weekend that works for your team, and expect the schedule the Monday prior to gameplay. If a division does not meet minimums (3 teams in 4v4, 4 teams in 5v5) a choice of full refund or pro-rated 'small event' option will be given to the Manger with five days of notice.
