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 Nashville must reserve rooms and stay at one of its authorized hotels. The event runs Fri Dec 11 to Sun Dec 13, 2026, with games at the Ford Ice Center in Bellevue.
Teams within 60 miles pay the Local Team Fee of $2,450 per team. The CAN/AM Nashville December event plays its games at the Ford Ice Center in Bellevue, 7638 Memphis-Bristol Hwy in Nashville, so the hotels below are the ones near that rink.
Out of town families pay per person through the CAN/AM site: $410 on the Premium package, $350 on Navy, $325 on White and $300 on Yellow, double occupancy, with hotel, tournament and gate fees included. Read the Out of Town Package tab before you book: it sets a 20 room night minimum for out of town teams (more than 60 miles away) with a "$50 per room night short" charge, says rates are valid "until 60 days prior to the event" (a rate cutoff), and calls uninsured reservations non-refundable.
Divisions run 10U, 12U and 14U at A, B and C. Every team is guaranteed four games, with play starting Friday at 7:00 AM. The host intro names the Ford Ice Centers in Bellevue and Antioch, while its Tournament Info section puts headquarters and games at the Ford Ice Center in Bellevue, so the hotels below are near Bellevue. The Antioch rink is at 5264 Hickory Hollow Pkwy, Antioch, TN 37013; ask CAN/AM if your team is scheduled there. The page promotes Blues at Predators on Dec 11 at 7:00 PM.
