The housing rule
THF operates a Stay-to-Play policy for all showcases and playoffs.
Housing partner
THF designated provider (not named on the 2026-27 event page)
What to know
The Tier 1 Hockey Federation says it runs a Stay-to-Play policy for all of its showcases. Its policy page says it receives a commission (a rebate) from hotels for rooms booked through its designated provider.
Connecticut has three weekends: 9U to 12U on November 6 to 8, 13U to 14U on December 11 to 13, and 15U to 18U on January 16 to 18. Rinks are Newington Arena, Champions Skating Center in Cromwell and, for January, Enfield Twin Rinks.
The November page header prints 2025 for the year, but the THF showcase list and the 2026-27 text point to 2026. We used the showcase list dates. No exemption or penalty is printed on the page.
