What to know
Can I book my own hotel? Not if you are an out-of-town team (checked 2026-10-19): the host says every team from more than 70 miles away must book through MYHockey Tournaments. The Boise Veterans Cup runs Fri Nov 6 to Sun Nov 8, 2026, for 10U, 12U and 14U.
All games are at Idaho Ice World, 7072 S Eisenman Rd, Boise, ID 83716. The host lists seven partner hotels with team rates from $139 to $170 a night, and five show as sold out, so only SpringHill Suites Boise Parkcenter and Hilton Garden Inn Boise Spectrum were open on the page.
Entry is $1,850 for 10U, $1,900 for 12U and $1,975 for 14U at full price. The host guarantees four games and sets a 24 room night minimum, which matters with so few rooms left.
