The CCM Minnesota Hockey High Performance Tier I Leagues provide the top players from each district a chance to play with and against the best players in the state. For the 2024-25 season, the Youth 13 Only classification is for players born in 2011. The Leagues are conducted in accordance with USA Hockey rules, and all teams are eligible for USA Hockey’s Tier I National Championships.
There will be ten teams from the 12 Minnesota Hockey Districts.
The tryout process will be held in May, June, or July with competition weekends starting in August and running through early October. On-ice skill development practices and off-ice training sessions will vary based on each District.
