What to know
Can we book our own hotel for the Bantam Chain O'Lakes Cup? The host page (checked 2026-10-22) states no hotel rule, so ask the tournament director if you want it confirmed in writing.
This is the U14 bantam event, Friday December 18 to Sunday December 20, 2026, at the Waupaca Expo Center, 187 Grand Seasons Drive. The entry is $775 per team before credit card tax. Games start Friday at 5 p.m. and finish Sunday with championship games.
The host names two hotels near the rink: "The Ramada is directly accross the street" and "Comfort Suites is less than 1 mile down the road." It does not tie either one to entry. The A bracket lists three teams, including Viroqua and Lakeland, and schedules come out when the event fills or at least a week before.
