What happens after the Brick Series tryouts?
After the Brick Series tryouts, we will identify 25 - 30 players from each age group that will make up the Brick Series development program. Players may be chosen for Brick Series events and/or additional Elite tournaments and will train together during the spring under the guidance of our professional coaching staff.

Is the BRICK Series affiliated with The Brick Invitational in Edmonton?
The BRICK Series is endorsed and supported by the Brick tournament but is run independently of the Brick. As you can see from the organizations listed below who have already committed to the BRICK series there is participation from programs who also hold Brick tournament charters.

What programs make up the BRICK series?
The BRICK Series organizations include Toronto Pro Hockey, Junior Bruins, CT. Jr. Rangers, Detroit, Chicago Elite AAA, Minnesota Blades, Team Brick Alberta, LA Selects, Montreal Meltdown, Atlanta Knights and the BC Jr. Canucks. Those programs will make up the core field of the BRICK series and we will be adding 2-4 'wild card' teams per age level at each event to round out the tournament field. All teams are either invited to participate are screened by the BRICK series committee.

What is the BRICK Series?
The BRICK Series was born out of a need for programs to elevate the spring and summer tournament circuit and to help prepare for the Brick tournament with each age group. There are so many tournaments offered that you rarely know what the level of talent will be at each tournament. You also spend the entire weekend at the hotel, rink or a restaurant because game times are spread out. The BRICK Series events are designed to provide players with top competition and families with great experiences throughout the spring and summer in some of North America's best cities.

Wild Card Teams
We will be adding teams not mentioned above at all events to round out the field. Teams interested in becoming a part of the BRICK series as a full-time participant or as a 'wildcard' team can EMAIL US.

Tournament Format
The BRICK Series games will be given priority start times so players and families have free time away from the rink each day to take in all the sights that host cities offer. Whether it's the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, The Mall of America in the Twin Cities, a Red Sox game at historic Fenway Park in Boston, hiking and zip lining at the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge in Vancouver, seeing one of the world-class shows in Las Vegas or going to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville our players, parents, and families will not just see the airport, hotel, and rink in these world-class cities.

All events will only have 8-12 teams per division to ensure elite fields. Teams will have a 5 game guarantee and with such a small, controlled field of teams, you are guaranteed to have competitive games. Some of the BRICK series events will have added events such as tournament wide parties, BBQ's and live entertainment.
