A Few Things You Might Be Wondering

  • A Tournament Weekend Playbook is a thoughtfully curated guide to everything between puck drops. From local restaurants and hidden gems to family-friendly activities and team meal options, each Playbook helps hockey families make the most of their tournament weekends without spending hours researching what to do.

  • Each Playbook includes a collection of handpicked restaurants, coffee shops, quick bites, family-friendly activities, local favorites, and team meal options.

    Recommendations are organized by rink location and available time between games, making it easy to find options that fit your tournament schedule. You’ll also find helpful tips and information to make navigating the weekend a little easier.

  • Curated City Playbook — $79

    Choose from one of BTB’s existing destinations. You’ll receive a thoughtfully researched guide featuring local favorites, dining options, activities, and recommendations organized around the area’s hockey rinks.

    Custom Playbook — $129

    Already know where you’re headed? I’ll personalize an existing destination Playbook around your team’s rink locations, hotel, game schedule, and preferences.

    New City Build — $179

    Traveling somewhere BTB hasn’t covered yet? I’ll research and create a Playbook for your destination, bringing the same thoughtful approach to a brand-new city.

    All three options include team sharing!

  • Your Playbook is designed to give you options, not a rigid schedule.

    Think of it like a coach’s playbook: You have a collection of great choices, and you decide which ones work best for your weekend.

    Whether you have an hour between games or an entire afternoon to explore, you can choose what makes sense for your family.

Ordering & Delivery

  • The earlier, the better!

    For Curated City and Custom Playbooks, please allow 5-7 days before your tournament.

    For New City Builds, please allow 7-10 days to give me time to research and create your Playbook.

    If your tournament is coming up sooner, feel free to reach out before ordering to see what’s possible.

  • That’s completely normal! Most hockey families don’t receive their final game schedules until shortly before the tournament.

    Curated City and New City Build playbooks don’t require a game schedule, so you can order those anytime.

    Custom Playbooks are tailored around your specific tournament schedule, rink locations, hotel, and preferences. You can reserve yours ahead of time and provide your game schedule once it’s available.

  • Your Tournament Weekend Playbook will be delivered digitally through a shareable Google Drive link.

    You can access it on your phone, tablet, or computer throughout the weekend.

    No extra apps or downloads are required to view it.

  • Absolutely! Team sharing is included with every Playbook.

    Once you receive your Playbook, you’re welcome to share it with your teammates and other families traveling to the same tournament. It’s an easy way to help everyone make the most of the weekend together.

    Please note: Playbooks are intended for personal and team use only. Reselling, publicly posting, redistributing outside of your team, or using any portion of the Playbook for commercial purposes without written permission from Beyond the Boards Travel is prohibited.

  • Yes!

    That’s exactly what the New City Build option is for.

    If your tournament is taking you somewhere BTB hasn’t explored yet, I can create a Playbook specifically for that destination.

Planning Your Weekend

  • No. BTB provides recommendations and planning resources, but reservations, tickets, and activity bookings are made directly by families.

    When an experience is especially popular or requires advance booking, I’ll highlight that information in your Playbook whenever possible.

  • Anyone who’s traveled for youth hockey knows that schedules can change!

    That’s why BTB Playbooks focus on flexibility rather than rigid itineraries.

    Recommendations are organized by location and available time, so you can easily adjust your plans if games are moved or your weekend looks different than expected.

  • Yes! BTB Playbooks are designed with hockey families in mind.

    You’ll find a variety of options, from quick stops and casual restaurants to activities that appeal to different ages and interests.

    For Custom Playbooks, you can also share your children’s ages and preferences so I can prioritize recommendations that fit your family or team.
