Motown Glowdown
Mite Hockey Tournament
Play under the lights
Hockey Like You've Never Seen It
Lace Up Your Skates
Motown Glowdown is a youth hockey tournament played under blacklight, built just for 8U mites. The rink is transformed with UV lighting, glowing jerseys, bright tape, and a high-energy atmosphere that makes every shift feel like a show. Games are played on third-ice/cross-ice surfaces designed for development, with a professional, safety-first staff keeping everything organized from puck drop to final horn.
A unique Opportunity
What You’ll Experience
Rink in Thirds Action
Shorter surfaces mean more puck touches, more decisions, and more confidence-building shifts for every player on the roster.
The Glow Experience
UV glow jerseys, glowing pucks, and rink lighting turn every game into a bright, high-energy experience kids can’t stop talking about.
Two Days of Guaranteed Games
Every team plays a minimum of four games over the weekend, so families get plenty of ice time for the trip.
Family-Friendly Weekend
Spectator areas, concessions, and a fun tournament environment make it easy for parents, siblings, and grandparents to enjoy the event.
