Our goal is to provide good competitive hockey within the MD framework. For those who are not familiar with the MD classification, it can vary from “BB”, “AE” or a rostered select classification within the OMHA or GTHL. The MD teams play in an independent loop within the Alliance. The players on these teams do not play on any other team. We will consider accepting teams from any of the levels mentioned above.
Our intent is to run a tournament that is fun and exciting and to provide a competitive balance within the divisions for all of the teams that are participating. We welcome all to apply to our tournament. We welcome all returning teams and we look forward to meeting new ones. With this being our 10th anniversary, we hope to grow even more and with a little luck and good fortune it will be as successful as it has been in previous years!
