FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Braemar Arena to Host Robertson Cup Championship
Edina, Minn., Feb. 2, 2016 – The North American Hockey League (NAHL) Robertson Cup Championship
will be held Thursday, May 12 through Sunday, May 15 at Braemar Arena, 7501 Ikola Way.
The Robertson Cup is the oldest junior hockey trophy in the United States and is awarded to the national
playoff champion of the NAHL. It is named in honor of Chuck Robertson, a pioneer of junior hockey and
youth hockey in the state of Michigan.
“We are thrilled to have been selected by the NAHL as the host site of this year’s NAHL Tier II
Tournament,” said Braemar Arena General Manager Susie Miller. “This is the first time in the 40-year history
of the tournament to be hosted at a neutral site. It truly is a feather in the City of Edina’s cap and is a direct
result of the recent improvements made to the facility.”
The event will include four teams: one playoff champion from each of the four divisions. The game schedule
will be as follows: The No. 1 seed will face the No. 4 seed in a best-of-three series. The No. 2 seed will face
the No. 3 seed in a best of three series. The two series winners will advance on to a one-game playoff to
determine the Robertson Cup Champion.
