Date Announced, Popular Event Expected to Sell Out Quickly.

The registration for the 11th Annual Labatt Blue/USA Hockey Pond Hockey National Championship will open Wednesday, July 29, at 11 a.m. CST.  The following key points are critical to a successful and efficient registration process:

  • All registrants must have a Sport Ngin account in order to register a team in the tournament. If you do not have a Sport Ngin account, click SPORT NGIN ACCOUNT REGISTRATION to create an account prior to registration opening.
  • Registration will open promptly at 11:00 am CST on Wednesday, July 29. At that time, you can register your team(s).
  • Rosters are NOT required on the day of registration.
  • Full payment of $500.00 is required at the time of registration. Acceptable payment options are:
    • Valid Credit Card: Visa, MasterCard, Discover
      (Amex NOT accepted at this time)
    • Paypal
    • Checking Account

Important Event Notes and Guidelines:

  • As always, this event is filled on first come first serve basis.
  • When a division is “Out of Stock” it is sold out. Please select the "Wait List" option for your desired division. "Wait List" teams will not be required to submit payment at the time of registration. (IMPORTANT - If your desired division is “Out of Stock” do not select a division lower than your playing ability.  You can only advance in divisions.)
  • If you plan to register multiple teams it is recommended that you designate a captain to create a Sport Ngin account and register each team individually.
  • Players must fit the age requirements for each division, no exceptions. 
  • Players can only be on one roster for the entire pond hockey event, no exceptions.
  • If you won your division last year, you must play in a division above, where applicable (age specific and high level divisions may be an exception). USA Hockey’s staff reserves the right to move your team if you register in the division you previously won.
    • Division disclaimer: Knowingly entering your team into an inappropriate division will not improve your chances of getting into your preferred division that might be sold out. Registering into an inappropriate division and also going on a waitlist for an acceptable division will move you to the bottom of that waitlist. Please sign up for the appropriate division or, if it’s sold out, put yourself on the waitlist. The tournament director(s) reserves the right to move teams into appropriate divisions/waitlists as needed to ensure parity across the tournament.
  • Team name policy for 2016:
    • Because USA Hockey’s website and social media platforms are visible to hockey fans of all ages, Pond Hockey team names must not be offensive to any particular group or individual.  While we encourage and enjoy creativity, we can no longer post team names online that may be sexually suggestive, discriminatory or  harassing in any way. USA Hockey will review all team names, and reserves the right to reject your team name, or in USA Hockey’s sole discretion to modify any team name deemed offensive by either abbreviating or shortening a team name.  Thank you for your cooperation in being respectful to all hockey players and fans.

Thank you all for your past participation and we look forward to another great event on the pond.  As always, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.
