2026 Lake Placid International Hockey Tournament

Thursday Feb. 19th thru Sunday Feb. 22nd, 2026

** The application link in the top right hand corner is now active.  We will accept applications for a limited amount of time, then go thru the applications to invite teams to participate. **

We will be offering the following divisions: Mite B/C Jamboree (Saturday only in either the 1932 or USA rink), Squirt A, B & C, Peewee A, B & C, Bantam A, B & C, and 14/16U Girls Tier II B/C. 

The Lake Placid International Tournament is geared towards Tier II and Tier III teams that play at the A, B or C level.  If your team is Tier I or plays at the AA or AAA level you will probably not be accepted.  Additionally, the application process is NOT on a first-come first-serve basis.  Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and we will begin to accept teams in mid to late September.  Our tournament committee reviews all applications and accepts teams that they feel will help create the most competitive divisions at all levels.  Several factors such as level, past attendance, geographic diversity within a division, etc. will all be considered during the process of reviewing and accepting teams.

All teams must be available to play on Thursday beginning at Noon.  No preference is given to distance travelled.

Tournament Cost = $1,400 per team

** USA Hockey Sanctioned **

All teams will have a four-game guarantee with one game guaranteed on the 1980 rink.  Depending on the ice we are allocated and the number of teams we accept we may use the Saranac Lake Civic Center in addition to the Lake Placid Olympic Center.

No hotel requirements. Teams can stay at the hotel of their choice.

Friendly volunteer registration table with a basket raffle throughout the tournament.

Custom tournament shirts, hats, pants, etc. available for purchase.

Mite Jamboree

 Cost is $500 per association.  It is ideal that an association bring two cross ice teams of approximately 10 players.

***More details about the Mite Jamboree will be released once our association gets on the ice in late October/early November.  Generally, we try to accept teams that will be competitive with our local Mite program.

On behalf of the organizing committee we thank you for your interest in our 2026 tournament.
