FAQs

The registration fee is $350* per individual.

This covers the cost of your participation in:

• Draft Night, including food & drinks**
• Tournament play, including ice times, personalized jerseys, sock tape, hockey tape and hydrating drinks
• Player lounge food & drinks

There is a maximum of 17 individuals permitted on a team roster.

This includes your goalie, skaters and any non-playing team members (ie coaches & managers).

Every year, teams are given a deadline to reach a minimum of 10 registered individuals (non-playing members included). 

This deadline allows us to ensure that rosters are large enough to support the fundraising required to participate.

After this deadline, teams will be filled with waitlisted individuals. 

Due to overwhelming interest, the tournament is by invitation only.  

Teams who have met the fundraising minimum from the year before are invited back.

In the meantime, new individuals and teams can join our waitlist.

If space becomes available for a new team (or if teams are looking to fill their rosters), we will reach out to our waitlist.

Players and non-playing team members (ie. coaches and managers) must be at least 19 years of age.

Teams must raise a minimum of $25,000. 

Funds raised from the event support Canucks Autism Network (CAN) program and training initiatives.

The $25,000 team minimum works out to about $1,500 per player (assuming a 17 player roster).

Teams that do not raise the minimum required amount by the fundraising deadline are still eligible to play in the tournament.

However, they will not be able to attend Draft Night, and will not have any NHL Alumni on their team at the tournament.

Eligibility for future tournaments may also be impacted at the discretion of event organizers.

We're here to support you! Please visit our Fundraising Tips page for a number of different ways your team can meet and exceed your goal.

The fundraising deadline is typically two days before Draft Night. 

This gives us enough time to finalize the fundraising standings and set the draft order.

Stay tuned for the exact deadline in 2026.

Teams will play three games each over the course of the two-day tournament. 

Our top 20 fundraisers (20 skaters & 2 goalies) will also be invited to participate in the All-Star Game.

Visit our NHL Alumni webpage to see which players are confirmed!

Each team will draft one NHL Alumni onto their roster for the weekend. Teams will draft NHL Alumni in the order of their final fundraising rankings.

The tournament features a wide range of skill levels.

Each player is asked to provide their skill level and age upon registration.

This allows us to assess each team's overall skill level and group teams together accordingly.

Yes! Spectator admission is by donation. 

Info on which NHL Alumni are playing on which team will be visible on the Draft Board in the main entrance.
