FAQs
Who do we play against and what is the competition like?
We typically arrange games against local club and select teams in the countries we visit. The level of competition varies depending on the destination and the tour, but we do our best to find competitive, balanced matchups that suit our travelling team. It’s an opportunity to experience a different style of hockey and see how the game is played around the world.
Who is on the team?
Our hockey tours bring together players from across Canada and the USA who share a love for the game and a desire to travel. We offer experiences for different playing levels, from recreational hockey to more competitive opportunities. We work to build rosters that make sense for each tour, bringing together players of similar abilities and interests.
How does ice time work?
Our goal is to keep ice time as balanced as possible and give everyone a chance to contribute. While shifts may vary depending on the game, we want every player to be a part of the action. These trips are about competing together, experiencing hockey in a new environment, and having a great time doing it.
How do flights work?
With players joining us from across North America, we want everyone to have the flexibility to depart from their preferred airport. As licensed travel agents, we’ll recommend flight options based on where you’re travelling from and help coordinate arrivals. Whenever possible, we’ll also connect players departing from the same city so they can travel together.
