exists to help all hockey teams make well informed choices about where to spend their Tournament dollars, we offer a listing to every tournament operator that requests one.

Most Tournaments are run by Minor / Youth Hockey Associations as fundraisers to help finance their club expenses, these "NON PROFIT" events are listed as One Line Notices at no cost in The Tournament Times.

Commercial Tournament Operators "FOR PROFIT" are asked to pay a nominal charge for One Line Entries.
Our definitions of "NON PROFIT" and "FOR PROFIT" are as follows:

NON PROFIT Click to go to the proper entry form
Tournaments operated by a recognized Minor Hockey Club and sanctioned by the local official Governing Body, surplus funds go towards the operating costs of that club and/or a Charity because a sanction is only granted on these terms.

FOR PROFIT Click to go to the proper entry form
Tournaments operated by anyone else. Since no restrictions exist, any loss would be absorbed by an individual or company or any surplus funds would be theirs to dispose of as they wish, or simply put, a profit.
Yes, I know some Summer Hockey Clubs operate Tournaments as a self financing venture similar to the sanctioned Minor Hockey Clubs. The trick is to separate them from the "for profit" operations. I don't have the time or resources to make that distinction so all non-sanctioned Tournaments will be considered to be in the "for profit" category.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a "for profit" Tournament operation, everyone knows what they are entering and they keep coming back to the good ones. Our position is simply this, if a Tournament operator expects to make a profit, we would like a small fee for the publicity requested in The Tournament Times.
