What to know
Can I book my own hotel? No, not from beyond 60 miles (checked 2026-10-19): CAN/AM says out of town teams must reserve rooms at one of its authorized hotels. The Seattle November event runs Fri Nov 27 to Sun Nov 29, 2026, the Thanksgiving weekend.
Local teams within 60 miles pay a $2,600 team fee. Out of town families pay per person through the CAN/AM site, from $275 on the Teal package to $319 on Red and White, with hotel, tournament and gate fees included.
Divisions run 9U to 14U across AAA/AA, A and B. Every team gets four games, first puck is 7:00 AM Friday, and the top four per division reach Sunday medal games. Games are at Kraken Community Iceplex and nearby rinks. The page also promotes the Oilers at Kraken NHL game on Saturday Nov 28 at 7:00 PM but does not say tickets are in the package.
