STARS & STRIPES 8U/6U

Half Ice games are a great way for players to practice skills and maximize puck touches with higher frequency.

We developed the Stars & Stripes series to make sure that while we downsize the game, we don't downsize the EXPERIENCE!

Teams can expect Stars & Stripes tournament games to have the feel and elements of real games. Referees that skate, music, and an environment that promotes competition and honors the game are the foundation of our events.

As a part of our events, Stars & Stripes is offering full ice events in the latter part of the season.

These events will prepare players to participate in full ice games before moving on to older divisions. Teams can expect the same amazing focus on the game day experience.

The Stars & Stripes events are committed to assisting in the development of the future of officials.

Tournament games will be officiated by younger officials where effort and education will be emphasized. We have invested in support and feedback resources to be sure that officials have clear expectations on game management and will receive real time feedback on opportunities to develop.

The result is a great training environment that prepares officials for their next assignments.

The Players are the Stars, and the Future of Officiating are the Stripes, but teams and organizations can expect more from these events, including:

• An experience that serves as a vehicle to increase player retention because of the memories created at our events.
• Data Projects delivered to participating organizations that provide information to support player development strategies.
