A FEW QUICK ANSWERS
GOOD QUESTIONS.
Is this for first-time players?
OPEN RINK is being built for emerging middle-school players and teams, with an ages 11–14 focus. Individuals can express interest in house-team placement. If your player is completely new, contact us about HWB development opportunities and the best next step.
Can a 15-year-old or younger child participate?
The showcase focus is ages 11–14. Contact the organizer about age eligibility before registering outside that range. Pre-registration alone does not approve an exception.
Do I pay the $30 membership for each showcase?
USABH membership is annual, separate from the $45 entry for each showcase. If one valid membership covers both dates, budget for it once. Check the applicable 2027 membership terms and dates before purchasing.
Where are the game times, rules and weather updates?
Arrival times, matchups, final competition rules, weather communications and cancellation/refund terms will be shared before paid registration and event day. Wheel Park is outdoors. Check organizer updates before traveling; no live schedule or weather feed is posted here yet.
What happens after I pre-register?
Your interest helps the organizer build teams and plan the event. Look for follow-up about official registration, fees, membership, equipment and team placement. No payment is required at the interest stage.
