2026 National Hockey Tournament hosted at PIC!

Plymouth Ice Center selected to host national hockey tournament

The Plymouth Ice Center has been selected to host the 2026 Chipotle-USA Hockey High School National Championships, in partnership with Wayzata Youth Hockey Association.

Set for March 18-22, 2026, the event will bring together the top high school teams from USA Hockey’s 12 districts to the main tournament site – the Plymouth Ice Center, 3650 Plymouth Blvd.

“We’re excited to welcome the best high school hockey teams in the country and thousands of visitors,” Plymouth Ice Center Manager Erik Halverson said. “High-profile tournaments like this put the Plymouth Ice Center on the national stage and boost the local economy, benefitting area restaurants, hotels and retailers.”

National tournaments bring large numbers of tournament-goers, who spend significant dollars on lodging, food, transportation, supplies, gear and entertainment while they’re in the area. The Plymouth Ice Center and Wayzata Youth Hockey Association previously hosted the USA Hockey High School National Championships in 2023 and 2018.
