The event is hosted by the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche, a major supporter of high school hockey, which has helped to raise the sport’s profile and level of play in recent years.
Budweiser Events Center, which sits just off of I-25 in Loveland, was selected as the host site for the event, which will feature Class 4A and 5A games for the first time in the history of the sport.

- March 17: 4A semifinals (5:30 p.m. & 8:30 p.m.)
- March 18: 4A championship (5:30 p.m.)
