What to know
The Eli Johnson Memorial is Squirt B1 and B2, both Dec 4 to 6, 2026 at the Cullen Hockey Center in Moorhead. The table lists 8 teams per level at $1,650, and on Oct 14 B1 was full with a waitlist and B2 had 1 spot open.
The host's pages list 8 registered teams in B1 and 7 in B2 so far. Squirt rosters are due to the tournament director by Nov 21 (the page prints the year as 2025, so check with the host).
The rules say all traveling teams must book rooms through the FMCVB Housing Bureau (set up by email from EventConnect after registration). Rooms booked straight with a hotel do not get the tournament rate and do not count toward the team's commitment.
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.
