The MYHockey Rankings Invitational Tournament Series schedule has been posted. The 2008-09 line-up should once again prove exciting.

The Pre-Season Challenge Tournaments start with Peewee, Bantam and Midget Minor AAA battle in Pittsburgh in late August. The Pre-Season Challenge Tournaments then turn their focus to Tier II in September. Holland will host the Peewee Minor Challenge September 19-21 and the Midget Minor Challenge September 26-28. Indianapolis will host the Bantam Minor Challenge September 26-28, while the Squirt Major and Minor, Peewee Major and Bantam Major Pre-Season Challenge Tournaments will take place in the Chicago area September 26-28. These tournaments will be a great way to start the season and give your team an opportunity to see where it stacks up against the competition.

The MYHockey Rankings Midwinter Classic Tournaments will be held January 17-19 at a couple different venues. Pittsburgh will host the Squirt and Bantam Major tournaments. Rochester will host the Peewee Major and Chicago will Peewee, Bantam and Midget Minor tournaments. These tune-ups should get teams back in the groove after the holidays and get them ready for the post-season.

Putting on a great tournament is a ton of work. I know because I have done it. While a great experience, it is extremely difficult to manage at the same time I run MYHockey. That’s why the MYHockeyRankings.com Tournament Series is run by Advanced Tournaments. Jim and the guys at Advanced Tournaments are simply the best at running these kind of tournaments. They understand and use MYHockey, going the extra mile to make tournaments competitive and exciting.

I highly encourage you to take a look at the MYHockey Rankings Tournament Series. Hope to see you at the rink this fall.
