The tournament will be held at the Sill Arena and Seitz Arena at the Duluth Heritage Sports

this year, teams will be guaranteed a minimum of 4 games, and some teams will play five
games. Pee Wees will play 15-minute stop time periods; Bantams and Junior Gold will play 17minute stop time periods.
Defending champions will again be guaranteed entry in the tournament if they apply.
