REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

TEAM DEPOSIT

A non-refundable $500 deposit will be charged to your credit card when your registration is accepted. The $500 team deposit is not an extra fee. If you paid the team deposit, you can apply it to your balance or it can be divided between the families. If the team paid the $500 deposit, it can be returned to the team 30 days after the tournament is over. Refunds of team deposits paid by credit card are subject to a 5% service fee. Please contact one of our customer service representatives to discuss your options more fully.

DEADLINES

All tournament related materials are due 45 days prior to the Tournament Date.  All final balances are due 30 days prior to the Tournament Date.

CANCELLATION POLICIES AND INSURANCE

PANDEMIC CANCELLATION POLICY
Should CAN/AM Hockey be forced to cancel an event due to the pandemic, 100% of all fees paid will be credited to a future event.

STANDARD CANCELLATION POLICY
Deposits are non-refundable. There are no refunds on payments for cancellations within 30 days of the Tournament.

RESERVATION INSURANCE
All fees and reservations may be insured against cancellation. Any reservation for which the insurance was purchased will be entitled to a full refund of all fees paid less the cost of the insurance. Click here for more information on reservation insurance.

TOURNAMENT SANCTIONING

The CAN/AM Summer Series tournaments are not sanctioned by USA Hockey or Hockey Canada.  As such, teams are responsible for securing their own event insurance where required and should be prepared to present proof of insurance at the tournament.  Teams must also ensure that all players registered for the event are eligible to participate and capable of presenting a valid proof of age on site.  Failure to meet insurance and eligibility criteria can compromise a team’s participation in an event and a forfeiture of all monies paid towards the tournament.  

HOTELS

As a condition of acceptance, all out of town teams more than 60 miles from Nashville must reserve rooms and stay at one of our authorized hotels. CAN/AM has secured room blocks at Nashville hotels for your team to choose from. Your families will make and pay for their hotel reservations right on the CAN/AM Hockey website. These rates are valid until 60 days prior to the event. Teams failing to reserve rooms at least 60 days out may see rates greater than the published rates.

All out of town teams and their members (players, parents, coaches, guests) will be required to utilize a minimum total of 20 room nights during the tournament (for example 10 rooms per night, for two nights, would result in 20 room nights during the tournament). Tournament fees are based on teams meeting this requirement. Teams failing to meet the minimum number of room nights will be charged $50 per room night short.
