I have a small business making quilts from hockey jerseys/T-shirts, and would like to find out what the best hockey tourneys there are to set up a booth. Anyone know dates/contacts? Thanks. www.allstarquilts.com

Here are some top boys tourneys to consider that draw multiple divisons and teams:

Metro Area:
Eden Prairie - 1st Test of the Best - Thanksgiving weekend (Peewee A Bantam A)
Burnsville - Thanksgiving Weekend (Squirt A, Peeewee A, Bantam A)
Bloomington - Midwest Regional - Christmas Break (Peewee A/B, Bantam A/B)
Edina - Edina Classic - New Years Break (Peewee A/B, Bantam A/B)
North St. Paul - Midwest Regional for Squirts - Xmas/New Years Break (Squirt A)
Bloomington Squirt Tournament - Mid January (Squirt A/B)

Outstate:
Spirit of Duluth - usually second weekend in December (Peewee A, Bantam A, Jr Gold A)
St Cloud - Geyer Center Ice - MLK weekend in January (Peewee A, Bantam A)

Others to consider:

White Bear Lake - only 8 teams per weekend though
Schwans's Cup - National Sports Center in Blaine during xmas holidays

Thanks so much. I've heard that there's a huge hockey expo in Minneapolis too that might be good. Appreciate your help!
