COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The 2018 Chipotle-USA Hockey National Championships commence Thursday (March 22) in Plymouth, Minnesota, with the High School tournament taking center stage.
Featuring three divisions, including Division I Pure (for single-school teams), Division II Combined (for teams comprised of players from multiple high schools), and for the first time, a Girls Division, the High School tournament will be played at the Plymouth Ice Center. The North Star State has hosted USA Hockey Nationals on 41 previous occasions, most recently in 2016 when Blaine, Minnesota, was the site of USA Hockey’s Girls Tier I Nationals.
As part of USA Hockey Nationals, some 4,000 players will compete for American hockey top honors in the sled, youth, girls, high school, adult and women’s levels at 13 host sites across the United States between now and late April.
