What to know
Can I book my own hotel? Not from beyond 60 miles (checked 2026-10-23): CAN/AM states that out of town teams more than 60 miles from Ann Arbor must reserve rooms and stay at one of its authorized hotels. The event runs Fri Nov 20 to Sun Nov 22, 2026, with games at Hartland Ice House.
The rule applies to teams more than 60 miles from Ann Arbor, as the host wrote it. Teams within 60 miles pay the Local Team Fee of $2,400 per team. Games are at Hartland Ice House, a two-rink arena north of Ann Arbor; the host says select games will be played at Yost Arena 'pending availability', so Yost is not listed as a venue.
Out of town families pay per person through the CAN/AM site: $520 on the Premium package, $300 on Maize and $285 on Blue, double occupancy, with hotel, tournament and gate fees included. Hotel parking is not included. Divisions run 12U to 18U at AAA, AA, A and B, and every team is guaranteed four games. The host page posts no deadline, penalty or refund terms.
