Montana Coal Classic 2026

Our tournament entry fees are structured with total team travel costs in mind. We recognize that teams traveling longer distances, including from Canada, face significantly higher transportation and lodging expenses than local or regional teams. By adjusting entry fees accordingly, we aim to create a more balanced and accessible opportunity for all teams while attracting a diverse and competitive field of participants. Our goal is to bring together great hockey programs from across different regions to create the best possible tournament experience for everyone involved.

Prices are listed in US currency.
