If you want to register your team or play in a HIGHER bracket that is your option. We also understand that with the difference in player abilities and combination of these players on a team the OVERALL strength of a team can be affected.

Keep in mind these are just a set of generic guidelines and not rules.

Men's A Bracket (Advanced)

The overall skill level of the players in our A Bracket should be an above average rec. league, high school, college/university, junior or higher skilled player. Some teams may include a couple of intermediate players, but it is suggested that no C Bracket players play in this division.

Example: Davenport University played in the 2005 & 2006 tourney. Grand Rapids Owls Reunion Team, Fisher Body Hockey League (Jolly Roger Wed. Night)

Men's B+ Bracket (Intermediate)

Overall skill level of the players in our B+ Bracket should be a strong to average rec. league player, played in high school or junior players that haven't played in a while (not a full team of them). From a team stand point we understand a team in this bracket may have a couple of players that may be able to play at an advanced level. Our B Bracket is quite competitive. Some may consider some teams ringer teams, but these teams have come from other B Bracket tournaments and we have all beat up on each other. If you have played in our tournament before you would probably agree with my break down.

Men's B Bracket (Novice . . . said with love . . .)

Overall skill level of the players in our C Bracket should have between 1 - 3 years of playing experience. 35+ in age and just looking to have a fun time and play some hockey. From a team stand point we understand a team in this bracket may have a couple of players that may be able to play at an intermediate skill level.

Example: Monday night Jolly Roger League, minus the ringer teams.

Women's Open Bracket

This bracket is open to all skill levels.
