Bluenote Cup Festival

The 2026 Blue Note Cup 6U/8U Festival will take place on Saturday, February 28th and Sunday March 1st, 2026, at the Maryville University Ice Center.

By moving the Festival to Maryville we have more ice available and can accept all teams and most importantly we do not have to worry about losing the ice due to weather. This has happened twice the last couple of years.

Registration opened on Thursday Oct 4.

ALL 6U/8U teams will be allowed to play in the Festival. We encourage teams register soon that we can plan the ice accordinly.

Registratation will close Friday Oct 17 at 5:00 pm.

Registration will take less than 5 minutes to complete. See the information below for what is needed to register.

Teams will get one hour of ice and will play two games against different teams.

Coaches will be on the ice and officiate the game.

No official scores will be kept, teams do not advance.

There is NO cost to play or register.

Once you register you will receive a confirmation that your registration has been received and you have a spot in the Festival.

This is a great free event that provides the opportunity to play in the BNC championship environment and teams get a medal just like the teams in the BNC Championship Games!
