Please plan on checking in your team at least 45 minutes prior to your first game in the Eagle's Nest, tournament Office (Room 103), located in Rink 3. Rink 3: When looking at EPCC we are to the right of the main entrance, it is a separate entrance from the main entrance.

Upon arrival, you will need to have the following materials with you:

1Score sheet labels- 12 labels listing players and coaches

2 Team Book Containing the following:

aTeam Roster with Official Stamp

bGoalie Substitution form signed by District president if needed (This is only required if your rostered goalie is injured or ill and unable to participate in the tournament and you are using a goalie not on your roster). You will also need to present the team roster for the goalie with Official Stamp. Contact your Association for this information and the form if you needed it.

Locker room keys are located at the Eden Prairie Community Center front desk. You must turn in a pair of car keys to receive the locker room keys. Locker room doors automatically lock when shut so you must get a key before the game. Locker Room assignments can be located on the TV screens located at each entrance (main and rink 3), the tournament office will also have the locker room assignments.

Each team must have one representative collect a copy of the game score sheet in the tournament office after each game. I will not be mailing copies after the tournament so if the Manager is unable to collect it then assign someone to do it for you.

I look forward to seeing you all at the tournament. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Thanks
