The Music City Invitational brings the Cwench Next Gen Series to one of the best destination cities on the schedule—Nashville, Tennessee. Games begin Thursday morning and conclude Sunday afternoon.

Nashville may very well be the best city in America for a hockey weekend. It has it all—world-famous BBQ (we suggest Martin’s and Peg Leg Porker), an outstanding restaurant scene, live music, and the Southern hospitality that makes Nashville such a great experience for players and families.

Non-Cwench Next Gen Series members must receive tournament approval to participate. If approval is not granted, the registration deposit will be fully refunded.

Hotel Information

The Music City Invitational has partnered with Team Travel Source to provide teams and families with competitive hotel rates and a smooth booking experience.

Our event is a “Stay to Play” event. Strong relationships with our hotel partners are critical to the tournament’s long-term success. Teams and attendees traveling from out of town must book their accommodations through our Official Travel Partner, Team Travel Source. These hotel partners reserve dedicated room blocks for our event, and utilizing those blocks allows us to continue securing quality accommodations and competitive rates for participating families.

FYI: Brentwood, TN is conveniently located between the tournament rinks and is just 10 miles from downtown Nashville. The Brentwood area offers a wide variety of hotel options at different price points.
