USA Hockey requires that all invitational ice hockey tournaments that involve three or more legally-registered USAH teams and/or another amateur hockey federation or association receive the sanction of the appropriate registrar where the games will be held.
The definition of a tournament is a gathering of three or more legally-registered teams to play competitive games outside of normally scheduled league or exhibition games within a specified time frame where a champion is declared. This also includes gatherings of more than three teams, except Association Exchanges (limited to two associations) where there are no winners declared.
