Great video! Thank you so much for including some of my footage at the 2:35 mark. It's an absolute honor to be a part of something that showcases great youth hockey tournaments.

[@CulturamaJoe]

42HockeyFan yes - thank you so much! I'll be sure and add the link to your channel in the description as well!!!

[@nahnotsomuch2292]

When you've got national level play by play guys like Gary Thorne and Doc Emeric saying that calling games at the MN State HS hockey tourney was on their bucket lists, that should tell you something. Both those guys were THE voices for the Stanley Cup games for the past 25 years. That they both asked to come call games here is awesome. If they're in town during the tourney, NHL players that are here to play the Wild always make a trip to go watch.

[@seaoc6578]

As someone who has been lucky enough to play in State in Minnesota, I can tell you it's by far the best experience of my life. Even getting beat early on by Northern teams, just being there with the fans and energy is indescribable

[@ginosnipe4]

Was in the Quebec tournament back in 12’.. incredible

[@anthonyzuk4223]

I am from Minnesota and while I was in Florida the Tampa Bay Lightning was playing the MN Wild in March. My section I think had the most snow birds there. Somebody yelled Lakeville just scored and now is on top. The NHL game was getting kind of boring and people were more excited on getting updates from the boys High School tourney. I was walking to my car and a few of the locals asked about that tourney. I said it is the super bowl, world series and Stanley cup rolled into one. If any of those games were being played at the same time all the MN TV stations would have the HS Tourney. I remember as far back as 1963 watching the games on WTCN TV. Now they are on 45 TV.

[@mikehanzal9562]

Still is a great tournament. But the two class format kinda ruined things.

[@Vsquared2222]

I couldn’t believe that the minnesota state tourney ranked higher than Quebec but I came to the comments and it looks like you’re right. I never had a clue, gotta get to that tourney one day.

[@CaptainCanada92]

I love going to watch the brick tourney in Edmonton. Those 9 and 10 years olds are amazing! And the atmosphere is great they play games live on the t.v at the bars in the mall and give tournament updates on the radio and television stations

[@CulturamaJoe]

Captain Canada yeah what an awesome tournament! You should also check out The Show from Super Series - it’s for those best hockey players the following summer after the Brick tournament! Playing in both the Brick and The Show back to back is pretty much the best exposure you can get as a youth player!

[@JaxReds]

Captain Canada wait u guys like that, in Chicago the team never does well (2004 team didn’t win a game and is one of the best talent years in state history) and we just forget about it

[@dylanyyz]

Ive played in many tournaments, but the international silver stick was my favourite. As a team from toronto hoping on a coach bus to port huron was electrifying. There was so many aspects of the tournament which made it fun, like the Opening cerimonies to the pin trading i had such a fun time, but it was also very cool to meet players from teams like alaska and tampa bay who traveled so much to get to where we played. Overall 10/10 tourny to bad our gthl rivals won the Stick :(

[@JConley35]

Interesting list. Fargo is an unconscionable omission. Kids love the pin trading, it's huge, the city goes all out, and the level of play is very high once you get down to the final 16 teams. I'm admittedly not familiar with Canadian offerings, so I preface my comments with that limitation. It's comforting in a way to see so many of the modern corporate events on your list. The for-profit element - and entry markup that comes with it - should result in a superior experience. My preference lies with events that have a lot more longevity. One on this list was new in 2013 and The Show is also a recent development. (I've been to The Show and agree it is excellent.) An example that could be included is the Edina Invitational, now in its 48th year. It was called "The Granddaddy of them All" over 20 years ago. Over time it has narrowed in scope at PW & Bantam as other events proliferated, which only increased the strength of field. Highly regarded Tier I teams from around the U.S. typically have average finishes, indicative of the high level of play. Good work. Enjoyed it.

[@prestonjones6811]

That is true as I have attended it myself but i've heard that the Quebec Pee-wee International is on a whole nother level. I am going up there in a couple days I tell you what it was like.
