The housing rule
In order to keep registration fees low, we will require all traveling teams to reserve rooms via the FMCVB Housing Bureau. All room reservations must be made through the FMCVB Online Housing System
Read the rule on the official site. We checked this on Oct 14, 2026.
What to know
The Blue Ox is Bantam AA (32 teams) and Bantam A (16 teams), Nov 6 to 8, 2026 in Moorhead. The host's pages say Youth Hockey Hub is the organizer and registration runs through YHH, so the MYHA table shows no fee.
The MYHA pages carry the heading 'All MYHA tournaments are Stay-to-Play' and the FMCVB Housing Bureau rule. We could not open the YHH Blue Ox page (it sends you to a SportsEngine sign-in), so we have not seen YHH's own housing terms.
Questions go to Youth Hockey Hub at the email on the MYHA page.
Games are at the Cullen Hockey Center in Moorhead (rinks named Bushy, Scheels and Sanford). The host says some games can move to the Moorhead Sports Center, a half mile northeast and connected to Moorhead High School.
