ONLY U.S. GIRLS REGIONAL TOURNAMENT OF SILVER STICK INTERNATIONAL HOSTED BY TOMPKINS GIRLS HOCKEY ASSOCIATION ITHACA, NEW YORK DECEMBER 6-8, 2002 Age Levels: There are three age levels in this girls ice hockey tournament: 12 and under (12U), 15 and under (15U), and 19 and under (19U). There is a new age classification scale in Canada, but we will be playing by current U.S. age classifications for this Regional Silver Stick tournament. However, teams must abide by Canadian age classifications if their teams advance to the Silver Stick Finals. · Pee Wee/12U- Canadian PeeWee ages are now the same as U.S. 12U. Players at the 12U level must be 12 years of age and under as of December 31, 2003. Ithaca event geared to Tier 2 or B level teams advancing to C level in Sarnia, Ontario. · Bantam/15U - Girls may participate in the Regional tournament if they are 15 years of age and under as of December 31, 2003. However, the new Canadian Bantam level is 14U. The finals tournament chair has decided that 15 year olds may play but the teams will compete in the higher BB level rather than at B (hosted by Cold Creek in Brighton and Trenton, Ontario). The Ithaca event is geared to Tier 1 or strong Tier 2 teams. · Midget/19U - Girls may participate in the Regional tournament if they are 19 years of age and under as of December 31, 2003, but must be 17 years of age and under as of December 31, 2003 to be eligible to play in the Midget Silver Stick finals in Sarnia, Ontario. Ithaca event geared to Tier 1 or A level teams advancing to BB level finals. Registered Players: All players registering for the tournament must be registered on a USA hockey team for the current season and show proof of registration at the tournament. Game Format: We will strive to play a round robin format at each age level. If there are a large number of teams in one of the age groups, we will divide that group into two divisions (Blue and Gold). All Midget/19U and Bantam/15U teams will play three 15-min. stop-time periods with 2 min. penalties. Pee Wee/12U teams will play 12 min. stop-time periods with 1:30 min. penalties. Advancement to Finals: The first and second place teams from each age level at this Silver Stick regional tournament advance to the Silver Stick finals. Winning teams are expected to play in the Silver Stick finals. Three is the limit for age-appropriate substitute players joining the teams that advance to the Finals due to age differences or scheduling issues. Visit www.silverstick.org for dates.
