Regional Spring Showdown 2018 & 2017 FULL-ICE Tier 1 & Tier 2 | April 25-27, 2025 | Brantford, Ontario

The Regional Spring Showdown has always been one of the best organized and most professionally run tournaments of spring hockey and now we have the ice surfaces and facilities to match. The new 60 million dollar Wayne Gretzky Sports Complex hosted our tournament for the first time last year and the feedback was absolutely fantastic. All in attendance raved about the facilities and the format with everyone moving on to a Championship or Consolation Playoff round for divisions of 8+ teams* was fantastic for all in attendance. All teams are guaranteed 4 games and teams will have an opportunity to advance to either an A or a B playoff round* to give everyone an opportunity to play through to Sunday and experience good competition. As always, schedules will be out in good time prior to the tournament and schedules and scores will be live, up-to-date and in real time online. There will be game, finalist and Championship awards and special guest presenters on Sunday as well as a variety of player appearances and autograph sessions of yesterdays spring stars now playing in the OHL.
