WOW, glad to see so many on the list of choices, not just 4.

The question is interesting becasue 'the best' can be subjective to what a person or team is looking for. If we are talking about prizes, it could be one answer. If we are talking about organization it might be a different answer. And if we are talking soley about fun, you could have yet another answer.

One thing I would like to mention is that aside from the failure for all to work together (which is changing incidentally), one thing that is prevalent ond obvious is a series's inability to keep the actual event organized.

This really gets to me. How many times are Directors hunting down scorekeeprs, refs, and teams who have not 'checked in'? How many times has a player said, "I already submitted that or sent that in"? And how many times do some of these events have schedule changes? And also, how many times are the actual Directors just M.I.A?

On the other hand, how many times are the Directors 'too involved', accused of being biased and favoring teams (the refs as well), and how many times are teams allowed to get away with garbage and poor behavior?

Many of the problems with events, revolve around coordination and organizing. Not all of these tournament's have those problems, but many do and it is a wonder they get through their weekends. It creates undue stress on staff, and gives a bad appearance to a trained eye. Many will mask that, with givaways.

My vote went to where I work. Keep in mind though that I choose to work with CRHL for good cause and reason, not just my interest in College hockey. If you have experience in many of these leagues as not just a player but as an employee, you would understand why.


**I have worked with many of these organization, but definately not all of them. A few, I have never even been to at all.

I've played in 6 of those tournaments and the best overall would have to be either TORHS or NARCH. Also kudos on all the choices i bet it's kind of hard for some people to choose who have been to almost all of them.
