Step 2:Room Registration

Gene Harrington Hockey Tournaments has secured room blocks for all out-of-town teams participating in one of our tournaments. As a condition of acceptance, all out-of-town teams must reserve rooms through Gene Harrington Hockey Tournaments by completing the online registration process. Teams whose home rink is greater than 50 miles from the tournament rinks, will be considered an out-of-town team, and will be required to comply with our hotel policies and procedures.

The hotels require a 2 night minimum stay, and that all inquiries and reservation be made through Gene Harrington Hockey Tournaments. Please complete the online reservation process as we will not accept reservations via email, phone, or fax. Teams within the same organization wishing to stay together, should state this in the comments section of the online registration form. We will make every effort to accommodate, and ask you to emphasis the importance of completing the team and hotel registrations as soon as possible to improve the probability of accommodating such request.

Since team registrations are considered on a first come first serve basis, and collecting your room requirements may delay your Team Registration, we provide you with a 30 day grace period. After the grace period your team registration will be placed on hold, and will not be reconsidered until payment in full is received, and your hotel reservations have been made. Hotel bookings are also handled on a first come first serve basis, and the choice properties fill quickly so it is in your best interest to make your arrangements with us as soon as possible. To review the features of our host hotels please click here to visit the Hotel Information Page. To register please click on the hotel registration button above, and complete the entire form.

Please note - Teams that do not stay at the host hotels listed will be removed from the tournament and forfeit their entry fee.

Additional Registration Information:

Acceptance: As mentioned above, registrations are accepted on a first come first serve basis. This preliminary acceptance does not insure placement. To provide a certain degree of reassurance that your team can compete fairly, placement is subject to our screening process, upon which your team will notified of its acceptance. We make every effort to accept all applicants, but in good conscience we will never accept a team for the sake of filling a spot as it is our goal to create an atmosphere that is conducive to having a great tournament experience whether your team has a losing record or is undefeated. Tournaments that provide upfront guarantees do not abide by these same standards, and often put teams in bad situations such as uneven competition, or last minute cancellations.

Fees: We have no Gate Fees. When comparing our fees to other tournaments please keep in mind that most tournaments charge family members an admission, or gate fee to watch their children play. These additional fees can add $250 - $300 to the cost of their tournaments, forcing some family members to stay home, and for the ones that attend some heartburn over having to fork over more money just to see their children play hockey.

Games: All teams are guaranteed three games. Please prepare to play games as early as 7:00AM on the first day of the tournament. Please do not apply if this is a problem.

Trophies: All teams that make it into the finals will receive individual player and team trophies.

Hotels: We require that all teams stay at one of the host hotels. Please refer to the Hotel Information page or click on the above Hotel Registration button form for room rates. Please note that all hotels have a two night minimum stay policy.

Party: All parents and coaches are invited to join in the party festivities on Friday night at the Sheraton at the Falls. The Party provides complimentary beer and entertainment. For the players, each team receives a pizza voucher. Teams are responsible for organizing their own pizza parties.
