Mindset quiz

are you top 68?

The UMH-68 Invitational is the ultimate event to compete, develop and network with the BEST in your province.

the reason.

The UMH-68 Showcase is an invitation-only event that selects the best players from across the province to participate in an elite hockey experience. 

The top 68 players – 4 teams of 17 –  from ALL leagues, come together to compete, develop and showcase their talent on ONE stage.

Hockey is more fractured than ever. With multiple options on where to play, the top talent gets dispersed across many leagues.

Some play sanctioned hockey and others play in private leagues. The UMH68 is a once-a-year opportunity to play against the best in your birth year.

the experience.

From the moment you walk through the arena doors, it is a player first experience.  Assigned team dressing rooms, individual player stalls, and WHL level room amenities make a great first impression and it doesn’t stop there.

Players get plenty of ice time with 5, 60 minute, stop time games, each with 2 ice cleans. Access to physio’s and massage, educational workshops, monetary prizes for game stars and a player’s banquet only adds to the experience! 

the growth.

the difference.

UMH68 is more than hockey games. 

The entire event is an experience. 

the process.

The UMH-68 in an invitation only event and we are watching!  We watch games live and online to identifiy the top players in the province. However, it is very hard to see everyone, which is why we also rely on nominations AND our watchlist to make sure we don’t miss a deserving player. The first round of invites will be sent in December and early January.

If you are a parent and want to guarantee that your player is seen and considered, please use the watchlist link for your province and age group. 

If you are a coach or director and want to nominate worthy players, we would love to hear from you! Use the watchlist form or email [email protected].

the feedback.

My son, Tristan Hoko, was proud to be selected to participate in UMH68. Absolutely brilliant, well organized and well balanced. A must, if you are fortunate enough to be selected.
Markus Hoko
UMH68 was GREAT! Jason created a competitive atmosphere for top players from all over the province. Some highlights for us were the high quality coaches that ran great practices and taught during the games, a player’s only banquet with awesome great speakers and a parent social night.

My son earned an invite to this last year and had a blast. It was one of the best run showcases he's been to. They really go out of their way to take care of the boys and to put on a great hockey experience.
