2012 Granite State County Cup

Granite State County Cup

The Rinks at Exeter and Elite Hockey Development (EHD) are proud to announce
the 3nd Annual Granite State County Cup

This tournament is modeled after the Merrimack Valley Cup and New England County Cup. The mid-week and weekend tournament series promises to provide fun, excitement, and highly competitive hockey, with hopes of showcasing some of the best hockey talent available in the Granite State. Each team at each level will represent the best players from their respective Counties regardless of where they play during the hockey season. A Granite State County Cup will be presented to the winner of each level at the completion of the series one town will be named Granite State County Cup Champions. Each county has a tournament director and each coach is responsible for selecting his team.

Amesbury Mites
The parents and players have all given me terrific positive feedback over the tournament. It sounds like everyone had a great time and are glad to have had the chance to play. I don't think my 5 yr old son let go of his medal
until he fell asleep

Thanks again for your efforts

What a fun well organized tournament....Cameron had a blast.

Thanks, Troy Taylor


Turkey Tournament Testimonials
New England Stars
We would like to thank you for getting us in and commend you for a great tournament! This was our first with you folks but certainly will not be our last

Maine Freeze
We wanted to thank you for putting on a great Thanksgiving weekend tournament. My team the Maine Freeze squirts had a wonderful time/experience. One of the things that stood out to our team was how gracious and welcoming all of the other teams fans, player and coaches were. I will certainly pass the word around about what great hosts and tournaments you run.

Dover (Pee-Wee)
We wanted to be sure you got this note, just in case you noticed the scores or received any feedback from anyone else on our pee wee division. I want you to know that we have no complaints whatsoever and had a great time at the tournament. We lost 1-6, 0-13, and 0-10. In the process we played six of the best periods of hockey my team has played all year. It was a great team building experience. Our kids learned to stick together, and they never gave up. They focused on competing on every shift. They never gave in to frustration, and never took stupid penalties, mouthed off, or whined. Our coaches had opportunities to teach important lessons, and our kids were receptive to those lessons. I suspect our gsl and seacoast league opponents will have a tougher time playing us because of the development our team experienced this weekend. Thank you for finding us a spot in the turkey tournament. In the future I hope some of these players return on future Dover teams. If they do, their improvement will be partially due to the excellent, highly competitive experience we had this weekend.

Mite Cross Ice Tournament

On behalf of the Salem Saints team, thank you for an exceptional tournament. Our kids had a ton of fun and enjoyed the cross-ice format -- something they hadn't been exposed to before other than a few minutes each practice. It was a great opportunity for them to learn the importance of passing and working together as a team.

Many of the parents said this was the
best $45 they could have spent!
