RMHS Selects Tour Hockey Information
TOURNAMENT & FRIENDLY GAME FORMATS:
Each team will play 5-6 games minimum during the trip. Friendly games will be 3, 20-minute stop time periods in length, with a zamboni break between each period, include a 15-minute warm-up and will be played on Olympic size ice sheets. Oftentimes the European style mini-tournaments are only 2, 20-minute stop time periods with 1 zamboni break. In these cases, we will add other, full length games. |

GAME INFO:
All team members are expected at the arena 60 - 75 minutes prior to game time to prepare, stretch, tape, etc. We play three, 20-minute, stop time periods, with a complete 15-minute warm-up. After warm up is complete, both teams will line up on opposite bluelines facing each other and raise their sticks in the air in a gesture of sportsmanship and goodwill. At that time, the captains will exchange gifts, and then proceed to shake the referees’ hands, wish them luck, and then do the same with the opposing coaches. Please note the score clock counts up, not down, so it will start at 0:00 and count up to 20:00 by period end. |

TEAM LOCKER ROOMS:
We will have our own private locker room, with private showers, for the duration of the stay in Italy and Switzerland. Equipment may be left there 24/7, including sticks, provided we are not traveling that day or the next for games. There is also a public restaurant and skate sharpening available. I would suggest 2-4 sticks depending on how fast you go through them and you must have a mouthguard. |

TEAM UNIFORMS:
Team jerseys and matching socks will be provided. RMHS Selects t-shirts will be provided for use at team events that may not require a polo shirt and khaki’s. The coaching staff will notify the team of these events. It is not necessary to wear these to the team dryland sessions, but we do request you wear a hockey t-shirt of some kind. |

SKATE SHARPENING:
Skate sharpening is few and far between. It is HIGHLY recommended that you sharpen your skates right before you leave just in case. Every effort will be made to get them sharpened at each venue, but it is not always available. |
