  • The Maine High School Hockey Invitational (2001-07)

The Maine High School Hockey Invitational is the largest organized high school hockey tournament in the US. In 2007, the tournament was comprised of 45 high school teams from ME, NH, MA, CT, RI, VT, NJ, NY, FL, and Canada. In 2008, we estimate that around 54 teams will be participating. 

The tournament is hosted at four arenas in Southern Maine and its main purpose is to expose high school students to out-of-state competition and collegiate, preparatory, and junior level hockey scouts. In addition the invitational gives out seven scholarships to Maine high school hockey players who plan to attend a school of secondary learning and ascribe to a set of characteristics set forth by the tournament committee.

  • The Boston Bruins Alumni vs. Former Maine Mariner and Portland Pirates Greats

This event has been held at the Maine Cumberland County Civic Center to benefit the Friends of Portland/Deering Athletics, Inc. It is a benefit hockey game between the Boston Bruins Alumni Team and Former Hockey Greats who spent part of their AHL career in Portland, ME.  In 2007, it helped raise funds for the athletic departments of Portland and Deering High School after the school committee cut their spending budget by $110,000.

  • The FIX CUP High School Hockey Tournament (2007)

The FIX CUP is a two day, four team high school hockey tournament held in Southern Maine to benefit the Frank Fixaris (a local sports announcer-legend) Memorial Endowment at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine. This two day tournament helped raise nearly $10,000 for the endowment at its first annual event.
