CCM Chicago Mite Madness

All teams must submit their Certified USAH/Hockey Canada Roster NO LATER than 60 days before the tournament start date. If required by your state/affiliate, we must receive a Travel Permit as well. These permits and rosters must be approved/signed by your governing body/affiliate. If you have an electronic version of these documents, please email them to Linda Wilkie. If you do not have an electronic version then you can fax the documents to 630-442-7238. Please be sure you bring your approved roster sheet and travel permit as back up to the tournament as well.

Upon registration, please be sure to enter the Team Name as it can be found in the MyHockeyRankings.com database. The tournament staff will utilize team information, past results, and current ratings to determine the best level of play and competitive division for all teams. If they need any further information, it will be requested.

The number of teams in each division depends on multiple factors, including overall tournament size, rinks, registrations, competitive level, and other items. Most playing divisions will include between 8 and 24 teams. Under no circumstances will there be less than four (4) in any playing division.

Division formats and playoff structures will be released no later than 3 weeks prior to the event.

All event schedules will be released no later than 2 weeks prior to the event start date.

Unless otherwise noted and communicated, all teams will play two games on Day 1 and two games on Day 2, with potential playoffs and consolation games on Day 3. All teams need to be prepared to play at 7:30 a.m. on Day 1. All games will be completed no later than 5:00 pm on Day 3.

Teams must be affiliated with one of the following: CHA, USA Hockey or IIHF.  All games are operated under USAH Rules and Regulations. Neck guards are mandatory for all players. All players, including goalkeepers in the U12 through Midget (U16 & U19) age classifications are required to wear a colored (non-clear) internal mouthpiece that covers all the remaining teeth of one jaw, customarily the upper. For the first violation of this rule, the team shall be issued a warning. A misconduct penalty shall be assessed to any player or goalkeeper of that team for a subsequent violation during that game. NOTE: Hockey Canada rules do not mandate the wearing of a mouthpiece at any age classification where a full facemask is required. Therefore, Hockey Canada registered teams are not required to wear a mouthpiece while playing in the United States. For all levels, USA Hockey replaced the delayed offside rule with an automatic whistle. Consequently, if a player is offside, the whistle will be blown immediately. If the offside is accidental then the face-off will occur just outside the offensive-zone blue line, an intentional offside will be whistled down with the face-off occurring in the violating team's defensive zone.
