The 2010 CCHA Kids College Classic will be held March 19-21, 2010 at the Novi Ice Arena and at Suburban Ice Farmington Hills, with all Championship games being held on Sunday at Joe Louis Arena. We are very happy to be holding this event in conjunction with the CCHA Championships, which will give our youth teams not only a chance to see some great hockey action, but to take part as well in an exciting tournament atmosphere.
Once again, this tournament is only for Squirt and Peewee teams. At the travel level, we will have divisions for Squirt A (2000 birthyear), Squirt AA (99), Peewee A (98), and Peewee AA (97). We will also offer both Squirt and Peewee House, but with one big change. At both age groups, the house levels will be broken into two separate divisions. The Blue Division will be for teams playing with their fall roster from the 2009-10 Fall/Winter Season. There will be no roster additions after January 1st. The White Division will be for teams who added players to their fall roster after January 1st, or who rostered as a postseason team. It will also include non-Michigan "select" teams who were not formed through a draft process. The tournament committee believes this change was needed to help provide a more level playing field for our teams, as well as to provide our participants with the best experience possible.
The tournament application is attached below. The tournament will begin on Friday morning, with teams playing 2 games on Friday, and 1 on Saturday during the day. If a division has 6 or more teams, there will be a semifinal played mid-afternoon on Saturday. The schedule will be formatted to minimize any conflicts with the CCHA Championships on both Friday and Saturday nights.
