Purpose
The purpose of the Friendship Games is very simple, it is to give an opportunity for kids at the House levels to play some games without the pressure of winning a tournament. There are no trophies and everyone is a winner by just playing. It is just games for fun. Players register as an individuals and Winterland will form certified USA Hockey Teams.
Kids can come from out-of-town or the local St. Louis Bi-Sate area.
This is a Non-checking event at all age levels.
The 2024 Friendship Games will be the 14th Anniversary of the event.

Most kids have nothing to look forward to in the summer so we think this is a great opportunity for those skaters to have a chance to travel and play some games without the pressure of winning a tournament. These games are set up for fun and the excitement of playing with and against other skaters you would normally not get that chance to play.
And to make sure we are safe and having fun all the divisions are NO-CHECK divisions.
Players have the chance to register for 2 to 4 games.
Our main goal is that kids play kids of equal ability. We do not want anyone getting blown away. So we work hard to make sure the teams we form are equal.
Contact us at winterlandhockey@gmail.com with more questions.
We are always looking for help as score keepers, Timekeepers, locker room help, and just plan folks to hang out and do what ever needs to be done. It is a great way for Students to earn their Community Hours at school.
