Building off of the Bantam Cup tournament started by the Locke family in 2014, we will be running our 4th annual U18 Cup this year (formerly known as the Midget Cup). This tournament was renamed the U18 Couture Cup in honour of Kyle Couture, a dedicated U18 TWHA coach who passed away in 2020.

The tournament is planned for April 11-16, 2023 at Flames Community Arenas.

The tournament is a fun, non-body contact tournament that allows friends within Trails West to play against each other on balanced teams made up from players from all U18 divisions (and this year, with former U18 players from the last 2 seasons). Players have the chance to meet new friends, play with new teammates, play against former teammates, and celebrate the game of hockey in this terrific multi-day event that includes a tournament banquet.

The tournament banquet is tentatively on Sunday, April 16, 2023. The FCA Lounge will be open to the public during this time, however access to banquet food and beverage is limited to the player plus one guest. 

TEAM ROSTERS will be provided via TeamSnap - all players will be invited to their team by April 4.

Registration Open - March 3, 2023 9:00 AM

6 balanced teams will be formed with up to 15 players and 2 goalies per team. Registration will be limited to 90 players and 12 goalies. Register early as spots may fill quickly!

Due to overwhelming interest and excitement last year, we are once again extending registration to Trails West Wolves Alumni. Participating Alumni must have been registered with Trails West for the 2020/21 or 2021/22 seasons (birth years 2003 and 2004).

Fees - $125/player $100/goaltender

Waitlist - If there are no spots available for registration, please select the waitlist option when at participant fees. Selecting this option does NOT register your player/goalie however it places them on a waitlist in a first-come first-register basis. The TWHA Administrator will be in touch should a spot open and you will be required to pay the registration fee at that time. Email requests to be placed on the waitlist will not be accepted.

Refund Policy - Refunds will only be considered due to injury or illness, if occurred prior to the start of the tournament. No refunds will be provided due to injury or illness if player/goaltender participated in a tournament game. There will be a $25.00 non-refundable administrative fee deducted from any refund.
