The Plymouth Ice Center is set to host the 2026 Chipotle-USA Hockey High School National Championships, in partnership with Wayzata Youth Hockey Association, March 18-22.

The event will bring together more than 60 of the top boys and girls high school teams from USA Hockey’s 12 districts to the main tournament site – the Plymouth Ice Center, 3650 Plymouth Blvd.

“We’re excited to welcome the best high school hockey teams in the country and thousands of visitors,” Plymouth Ice Center Manager Erik Halverson said. “High-profile tournaments like this put the Plymouth Ice Center on the national stage and boost the local economy, benefitting area restaurants, hotels and retailers.”

National tournaments bring large numbers of tournament-goers, who spend significant dollars on lodging, food, transportation, supplies, gear and entertainment while they’re in the area. The Plymouth Ice Center and Wayzata Youth Hockey Association previously hosted the USA Hockey High School National Championships in 2023 and 2018.

Drawing more than 600,000 visitors a year, the Plymouth Ice Center is one of the busiest ice arenas in Minnesota. Home to Wayzata Youth Hockey Association, the second largest youth hockey association in the state, the Plymouth Ice Center also serves as home ice for Wayzata High School boys and girls hockey programs, and Providence Academy high school hockey. Additionally, the regional facility houses an elite hockey training program.
