Which ones do you think are the best/most fun? Taking all things into consideration such as competition, tourney host, rinks, town, etc. Please elaborate on why you like certain ones

Roseau's tournament is fantastic. 16 teams, many in the top 15 of the State. Great rink and people. Fun trip for the kids.

That is a great tournament. It would be cool of they could get some teams from other countries like they used to for that tournament

Canada is represented well

. Tried to bring in a European team a few years ago when I was involved but couldn't get the team from an engagement in the Chicago (?) area to Bemidji without exhorbitant costs...

We hired a bus, drove in avan to O'Har with the bus and picked up the Russian, European teams. Cost us some money and some time.
Of course time changes things so it is more difficult to do, BUT the same theory applies, one phone call leads to three to five to a dozen and then something clicks.
We had problems with Japan, they were ready but then they needed more money to make it work. Our pockets were not deep enough.
