Minnesota Hockey has announced the host sites for the 2026 Minnesota Hockey State and Region Tournaments. The Chevy Drive to State will be hosted at 10 locations with 14 State Tournaments.

Minnesota Hockey’s Region Tournaments will feature 37 tournaments at 32 locations across Minnesota this season as teams look to qualify for State. The Junior Gold Hockey League playdowns, which determine Junior Gold State participants, will take place at Plymouth Ice Center (Junior Gold A and Junior Gold 16), and Maple Grove for the Junior Gold B tournament.

Every year, Minnesota Hockey’s Tournament Committee meets prior to the start of the new season to review the number of teams each District / Association(s) are declaring to play at what age groups (e.g., Squirt, Pee Wee, 12U, etc.) and levels (e.g., AA, A, B, etc.) for the upcoming season. Based upon this information, the Committee determines the appropriate number of Regionals based on the total team participation at every level of play.
