That tournament will be held April 3-7, 2024, in Dallas, Texas. The 16U team has 20 players from eight different hockey communities. Players skate for their local hockey associations during the regular season, and then come together to form Team SD for qualification games and tournament play.
To qualify for nationals, these players participated with their teammates in 20 plus games last fall and have now been practicing together again since early March.
The 14U Team tournament is also being held held April 3-7, 2024, but will be in Amherst, New York. Team South Dakota 14U consists of 19 players representing 7 of the 11 South Dakota Amateur Hockey Association affiliates.
Teams from 12 different states will compete in three rounds of pool play, with the top teams advancing to the championship rounds. The Tier II National Championships will be played Sunday.
Both Team SD teams will hit the ice for their first games on Wednesday (April 3). The 14U Team opens the tournament with an 8am game against the Oklahoma Jr. Warriors. The 16U Team takes on the Vermont Flames at 1:15pm.
