For five seasons, the Bantam Elite League has showcased some of the upper midwest’s top talent in the Bantam-age group, pitting the best players against each for several weeks during the months of August and September. Over 60 Bantam Elite League participants have gone on to commit to Division I programs.  

With a new partnership between the Youth Hockey Hub and MAP Hockey, the league has expanded to include a Minor Division and will feature road trips to some of college hockey’s most famed institutions. Bemidji State, St. Cloud State, and the University of Minnesota will all host a weekend’s worth of games for the Major Division, while the Minor Division will make a stop at the University of North Dakota.
