Youth Hockey Tournaments That Require a Hotel Block: Thanksgiving 2026

16 youth hockey tournaments over Thanksgiving 2026 have a required hotel block, in Niagara Falls, Anaheim, Littleton and Hooksett. Teams must book through the tournament's hotel partner to keep their entry. 10 of these carry the organizer's own sentence on hotels with the date we checked it; the rest were confirmed by the organizer directly. A tournament whose page says nothing about hotels is not on this list.

Questions

How many tournaments over Thanksgiving 2026 have a required hotel block?

16 right now, in Niagara Falls, Anaheim, Littleton and Hooksett. The list grows as we read more organizer pages.

How was the policy confirmed?

From the organizer's published rule, quoted on the listing with the date we checked it, or from the organizer confirming it through their claimed listing. Never from a guess.
