Howies Hometown Cup

Sep. 11-13, 2026 • Grand Rapids, MI • 2008-2017 Birth Years

Grand Rapids is where it all begins.

Right in the hometown of Howies Hockey, the Howie’s Hometown Cup brings the brand to life for a full weekend takeover of Tier-II AA hockey. This is fast hockey, loud hockey, and no-brakes hockey—played in rinks that feel like they were built for big moments and bigger energy.

Over 120 teams from across North America and beyond descend on Michigan hockey country to kick off the fall season the right way. It’s where players tape up with Howies, hit the ice, and battle in a tournament that feels more like a celebration of the game than just a schedule of matchups.

From the smell of fresh tape to the sound of the final horn, this is Howies Hockey at full volume—gritty, fun, competitive, and built for players who want to start the season with something unforgettable.
