Big Bear partners with many local sports teams and other attractions to provide a complete travel experience in the cities we host tournaments. Our on-staff Entertainment Coordinator can help your team pick the perfect off-ice activity in any tournament location. We provide this service as a courtesy to all our participating teams to make the most of your travel experience in any city. From professional sports to dining and other team activities, let us plan the perfect balance of on-ice competition and off-ice family fun. Please email hc@bigbeartournaments.com for the most up to date activities in the city of your choice. If you are planning to purchase tickets to professional or other off-ice entertainment on your own, you must alert Holly so she can work with our scheduler to ensure your activity can be accommodated. Failure to communicate off-ice activities could result in schedule conflicts with your games.  

Please be aware that if your team is traveling by plane, motor coach, or any method requiring payment and/or reservations, you must enter that itinerary into your application to avoid scheduling conflicts.
