Bemidji MN Youth Hockey Tournaments 2026-27: Dates, Rinks and Hotel Rules

Bemidji Youth Hockey lists 13 tournaments for 2026-27, from Nov 20, 2026 to Feb 7, 2027. The host pages we read on Oct 15, 2026 have no hotel rule.

Which Bemidji tournaments run in 2026-27?

The host schedule lists 13 tournaments, and the first is 12U B on Nov 20 to 22, 2026. The last is Squirt C on Feb 5 to 7, 2027.

The team counts below come from the host's schedule table. The host's level pages disagree with it on two events, which we note under the table.

Our records leave the team count off for Peewee C and Squirt B2, because the host's level page and its schedule table give different field sizes. Check the host schedule for the current number.

Two weekends hold two tournaments each, Dec 18 to 20 and Jan 29 to 31. Peewee C sits on Thanksgiving weekend, and Peewee B1 is New Year weekend.

What does the housing rule say?

The host pages have no housing rule. We found no hotel, lodging or housing text on the tournament schedule page or on the 12U B level page on Oct 15, 2026.

That means there is no required hotel to quote and no penalty to describe. Our records mark the stay-to-play status for every Bemidji tournament as "unclear," not "none." Silence on a page is not a promise.

The tournament manager or director may have a packet with more. Ask in writing before you book, and keep the answer. Our Book Anywhere page covers booking on your own.

Where are the games played?

The 12U B level page says: "Games will take place at the Bemidji Community Arena. And potentially our Nymore Rink." The Community Arena is at 3000 Division St W, Bemidji, MN 56601, and Nymore Arena is at 200 Pershing Ave SE, Bemidji.

The schedule page also points to maps of the Bemidji Community Arena (1st National and Sanford Power), Nymore Arena and Sanford Center. The arena's own site lists two sheets at the Division St address, First & Last National Arena and Sanford Health Rink, plus one at Nymore.

Plan for two buildings until your game schedule says otherwise. The 12U B page also says "games may begin as early as 8:00 a.m. on Friday." Confirm your own start times with your manager.

What does it cost?

Entry is $1,650 per team for 10 tournaments and $1,800 per team for the three Bantam events. The level pages say no gate fees.

The $1,800 events are Bantam B/B2, Bantam B1 and Bantam AA/A. Every tournament lists four guaranteed games on the host schedule page in our records.

Divide by roster size to see your share. A 15 player roster at $1,650 is $110 a player, before hotels and gas.

Which hotels are near the rinks?

Four hotels in our venue data sit 2 to 3 minutes from Nymore Arena by our drive-time estimate on Oct 15, 2026. Four more are 6 minutes from the Community Arena. These are our estimates, not the host's list, and the host names none of them.

We have no sourced details on pools, breakfast or parking for these. Call the hotel and ask about team rooms, the cancellation window and late arrival before you pay.

What should parents check?

Check the refund rule first. The 12U B level page says: "Registration fees are generally non-refundable if a team cancels. A refund may be possible if: another replacement team is secured, or the canceling team provides its own replacement."

That text is from the 12U B page. We did not re-read every level page, so ask your manager whether your event uses the same wording.

Then check these before booking a room:

• Ask the manager in writing whether the team has any hotel instruction for your weekend.
• Pick a room with a free cancellation date that falls after your team is confirmed.
• Confirm your level and dates on the host schedule.
• Ask which rink your first game is in, since the host says Nymore is only a possibility.
