EnglishWho Can Participate in Canadian Hockey Enterprises Tournaments and Camps?
Updated
Canadian Hockey Enterprises (CHE) runs tournaments and camps for men, women, boys, and girls, and its own materials describe the programs as open to players of all ages and skill levels. Teams from Canada, the USA, Europe, and beyond take part, so participation is not limited to local or elite players. The main condition is simply choosing the division or camp that matches the participant's age group and gender category.
Participation by Program Type
CHE organizes its offerings around distinct groups rather than a single open category.
| Program | Who it's for | Scale noted by CHE |
|---|---|---|
| Men's tournaments | Adult men's teams | 750+ teams across destinations |
| Women's tournaments | Adult women's teams | Teams from across North America and beyond |
| Boys tournaments | Youth boys' teams | 350+ teams from Canada, USA, and Europe |
| Girls tournaments | Youth girls' teams | Destinations include Montreal and Lake Placid |
| Just for Girls camps | Female players | Exclusive, supportive training environment |
| Boys & girls camps | Youth players | Focus on skating, shooting, and teamwork |
| CHE Academy | Elite athletes | New facility in Peterborough, Ontario |
What This Means for Different Participants
Adult players
Men's and women's tournaments are built around team entry and described as a weekend experience with teammates. If you have an existing team, this is the most direct fit.
Youth players
Boys' and girls' tournaments plus youth camps serve younger players. Camps emphasize skill development (skating, shooting) and teamwork, so they suit players looking to improve rather than only compete.
Female players specifically
CHE separates out girls tournaments and a dedicated "Just for Girls" camp, which the site describes as an exclusive, supportive environment for building skills and confidence.
Elite or advanced athletes
The CHE Academy, based at the Miskin Law Community Complex in Peterborough, Ontario, is positioned for elite athlete development in collaboration with a high school, businesses, and coaches. This is a narrower, development-focused track rather than a general tournament.
International and Skill-Level Access
CHE describes itself as an international hockey company and states that it welcomes teams from Canada, the USA, Europe, and around the world. Its materials repeatedly frame the programs as suitable for all ages and skill levels, so a team does not need to be elite to enter a tournament. The practical question is which division fits your group's age and gender category, not whether you qualify at a certain skill threshold.
How to Decide If It Fits You
- You have a team and want a tournament weekend: check the men's, women's, boys', or girls' tournament pages for locations and dates.
- You're an individual youth player wanting development: look at the boys & girls camps or the Just for Girls camp.
- You're chasing elite development: the CHE Academy is the relevant program, not the general tournaments.
- You're traveling from outside North America: CHE explicitly welcomes international teams, so this is not a barrier.
