Competitive Hockey.
International Experience.
Unforgettable Summer.

The Coast 2 Coast International Cup is a premier international youth hockey experience, bringing together competitive players from across North America while extending invitations to select teams from Europe and Asia for an unforgettable week in Kelowna, BC.

If you're a competitive player ready for this level, apply.

The International Cup is designed for experienced competitive players who are comfortable playing at an elevated pace against strong competition.

Built for Competitive Hockey.

Applications are open to interested players.

Participation is by selection.

Selections consider playing experience, current level, position, birth year and roster needs, with the goal of creating competitive, balanced divisions and an outstanding experience for every player.

Because players apply from many leagues, regions and countries, there is no single league designation that automatically qualifies or disqualifies a player.

Our staff reviews each application individually, considering playing history, current level, position, birth year, recommendations and available roster spots.

Our objective isn't simply to assemble the strongest individual players possible.

It's to create competitive divisions and balanced rosters that produce great hockey.

  • Families who value experience, growth, and professionalism
  • Athletes ready to compete with top-tier peers internationally
  • Parents looking beyond standard tournament play
