Five Top Events from 200×85
Take Your Team To One Of The Best Tournaments In Hockey
With 19 different tournaments in the calendar year, 200×85 has an event for everyone in the hockey community. From high-level AAA teams to Tier 2 and high school programs, we host events around the world that provide world-class competition for all levels of teams. Don’t believe us? Check it out.
If you attend just one 200×85 sponsored event, make it Chicago. With more than 500 teams attending annually, it is the world’s largest youth hockey tournament occupying 15 rinks throughout the Chicagoland area. There are multiple competition levels within each age group from 18U to 10U, for AAA, AA and A-level teams. Don’t miss out on the Thursday night launch party, with vendors, food, drinks and giveaways for all coaches and managers in attendance.
Can’t handle the world’s largest tournament? Maybe the second largest event in youth hockey is more your style! Motown hosts nearly 350 teams each year, with a huge presence from Ontario-based teams. Top GTHL, OMHA, T1EHL and HPHL teams draw plenty of interest from New England, southern and west coast teams, providing one of the most diverse fields in all of youth sports. After all, it is called Hockeytown for a reason!
*Record scratch*
Hold on, the largest AND second-largest events in youth hockey? Under one umbrella. How? How can one event host all those teams and guarantee an awesome experience for all?
Our goal at 200×85 is to provide every hockey family with long-lasting memories in a fantastic environment. Teams are required to apply and are heavily vetted by our staff to make sure each event is appropriate for each teams’ skill level. We rely heavily on MyHockeyRankings as a tool to pool competitive teams together and provide the best matchups for all teams involved. Plus, we provide hotel accommodations and options to make your stay the best it possibly can be.
Now, back to some great hockey events….
Truly a one-of-a-kind experience for teams participating in a showcase-style event. With a five-game guarantee, all action will take place at the University of Notre Dame’s state-of-the-art Compton Family Ice Arena. Nestled beautifully on the southern edge of campus, both sheets at the facility have spectacular sight lines. Eight different age groups compete on eight separate weekends, providing unique treatment for all participants.
It’s called “Nash-Vegas” for good reason. The competition is great, but the city may be better! Enjoy great action at the Nashville Predators’ spectacular training facility, the Ford Ice Center, and then bask in some of the best nightlife in America while walking Broadway Street. Great venues, live music, spicy-hot fried chicken, stellar teams… Everyone will leave this weekend feeling like a winner.
Speaking of great cities with tons to see and do, Denver is both bold and beautiful. The Mile High City is home to all four major sports teams as well as lacrosse and soccer clubs. The Red Rocks Amphitheatre is impressive to all ages and the Coors Brewery Tour certainly caters to the dad group on the team. A short flight and modest drive for teams from as far west as California and as east as Michigan, this gem of a tournament draws unique matchups against unlikely opponents.
Travel abroad and take on European competition in Bled, Slovenia! Exclusive Tier-2 events for AA and A teams at Western Michigan, Green Bay World Invite and Nation’s Cup. Plenty of girls’ action too with Windy City and Detroit.
