What to know
Short answer: no, if you live more than 60 miles away (checked 2026-10-23). CAN/AM requires out of town teams beyond 60 miles of Nashville to reserve rooms at one of its authorized hotels. Dates are Fri Jan 22 to Sun Jan 24, 2027; the games are at the Ford Ice Center in Bellevue.
The January event is also played at the Ford Ice Center in Bellevue (7638 Memphis-Bristol Hwy, Nashville), and the hotels listed below sit near that rink. Local teams, meaning those within 60 miles, pay a Local Team Fee of $2,450 per team.
Out of town families pay per person through the CAN/AM site: $450 on the Premium package, $370 on Navy and $315 on White, double occupancy, with hotel, tournament and gate fees included. The Out of Town Package tab prints a 20 room night minimum for out of town teams (more than 60 miles away) and charges "$50 per room night short." It says rates are valid "until 60 days prior to the event," which is a rate cutoff, and that uninsured reservations are non-refundable.
Teams are guaranteed four games, with the first puck Friday at 7:00 AM, in 10U, 12U and 14U at AAA/AA, A, B and C. The host's intro mentions two rinks, Ford Ice Center Antioch and Bellevue, but the Tournament Info section names Bellevue for headquarters and games, so the hotel list is built around Bellevue. If your team is placed in Antioch (5264 Hickory Hollow Pkwy, Antioch, TN 37013), ask CAN/AM. The page also promotes Kings at Predators on Saturday, Jan 23 at 7:00 PM.
