UPON YOUR ARRIVAL
HOTEL CHECK-IN
When you arrive in Lake Placid, you can proceed directly to your Tournament hotel where you will individually check-in to your rooms. Rooms have been reserved for families per their request.
Standard hotel procedures when checking-in require a credit card deposit for any incidental charges. Please remember, hockey sticks will not be allowed in the hotel or rooms, because sticks tend to cause accidental damage in the rooms and halls. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping player’s sticks in your cars or on the team bus.
CHANGES TO YOUR RESERVATION
Your account portal locks one week prior to tournament start, Thursday at 11:59pm. Please review your account prior to your portal locking.
You must visit our staff at Tournament Central if changes to your reservation need to be made after your portal locks. Tournament Central opens at 1:00pm on Friday. For insured reservations, cancellations of individual guests must be submitted by end of day Friday.
Tournament Central is located on the mezzanine of the 1980 Arena in the Olympic Center. If you are adding a guest, go to Tournament Central before you check-in to your hotel. Our staff will make the addition, process any charges, issue a credential, and provide a change receipt for you to give to the hotel when you check-in. If your reservation is insured and you need to cancel someone from your existing reservation, check-in to your hotel; you will receive a credential for everyone in your party, take the credential you will not be needing to Tournament Central before end of day Friday. Our staff will issue you a voucher for a refund. Please email tournaments@canamhockey.com at tournament conclusion to initiate your refund request.
TOURNAMENT CENTRAL
Tournament Central is your go-to spot for the event. Here, you’ll find answers to all your questions, souvenirs, game video information, and photos. Tournament Central opens Friday at 1:00 PM and remains open throughout all games.
TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
TOURNAMENT CREDENTIAL
All tournament package participants will receive a tournament credential. You will receive your credential when you check-in at your hotel. The credential will specify if the participant is an adult or youth (ages 6-17). This credential is required for each participant for entrance into the arenas, hotel dining rooms, and Olympic venues. The Tournament Credential is just like cash, so unfortunately, if a Tournament Credential is lost, CAN/AM cannot replace it.
ASHA LOCKER ROOM CREDENTIAL & ACCESS
ASHA Locker Room Credentials can be picked up by the Team Manager on Friday during Team Check-In at Tournament Central. Athletes and Coaches should contact their Team Manager for their ASHA Locker Room Credential. Please note that ASHA Lake Placid Locker Room Credentials are unique to the event and Regular Season ASHA Credentials CANNOT be used for this event. We ask that you refer to the ASHA website for additional locker room access details by clicking here.
Please make sure your Credentials are worn around your neck throughout the weekend. Event Staff will be at the rink entrances and you will be required to show your credential to gain entry.
OPENING CEREMONY
The Weekend will kick off with a Family Skate on the 1980 rink. All families are invited, so bring your skates and helmet (no sticks and pucks) and enjoy skating on the 1980 Olympic Rink. Check your schedule for the Family Skate time.
After the skate, everyone will vacate the ice and remove skating equipment in anticipation of Opening Ceremony. Teams (players and coaches) will gather and stand on the mezzanine floor in the 1980 Arena between sections 2 and 10. Parents and spectators are requested to take a seat in the 1980 Arena between sections 16 and 24.
CAN/AM Staff will be on hand to direct players and parents to their respective areas.
Our Opening Ceremony will include a team march (no skates, helmets optional) onto the ice, parade of ceremonial flags, playing of National Anthems, and procession with the torch. The Opening Ceremony is open to all of our players, and coaches. Join us for this awesome experience. Don’t forget to wear your team jersey and apparel!
