Girls 12UA

Laci Podmore - 315-276-5038

Thanks for your patience as we got the schedule finalized! Here’s everything you need to know for this weekend at the Bemidji Community Arena. We don't anticipate any changes to the schedule, but we have been working through a lot of challenges this season so we cannot promise that the schedule won't be amended.

Friday Night – Play-In Games

• Each team will play one Friday night play-in game. (This is the 4 pools that aren't really pools, but its the easiest way to organize it in our software).
• Everyone from these games will move into an 8-team bracket starting Saturday morning.
• To keep the bracket moving, all games must produce a winner and a loser.
• All games, including Friday games, will follow our overtime format.
• Games will consist of 3 -15 minute time-stop periods with resurfacing between games.
• Only the official game clock will be used, we don't use a separate "rink" clock. If the rink schedule falls behind, it falls behind.
• District 16 uses 2 minute minor penalties, not the 1:30 min rule.

Saturday – Bracket Play

• Bracket action starts Saturday morning.
• Each team will play two games on Saturday, depending on Friday’s results (winners vs. loser, losers vs. winners). The obvious incentive to win on Friday night is that you get to play a team coming off a loss, but if you lose Friday night, you are still in the running for the championship.

Sunday – Finals & Consolation Games

• Each team will play one game on Sunday.

Additional Notes & Reminders:

• All games will take place at the Bemidji Community Arena.
• We also have a 12 UB tournament running the same weekend — thank you for helping us keep things moving smoothly.
• Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled start time for warm-ups.

We’re excited to see everyone on the ice! Thanks for your cooperation, and let’s have a great weekend of hockey!
