Fifty youth ice hockey teams from as far away as Ontario, Canada, and around the United States will compete in ten different age divisions up to age 18 in the Ninth Annual Bright House Networks Tier II MLK Invitational Youth Hockey Tournament on Jan. 18-21, 2013, at RDV Ice Den in Maitland, Florida and the Ice Factory in Kissimmee, Florida.

Celebrating its 25^th year, the Orlando Youth Hockey Association (OYHA),  is the host of the event, which is regarded as one of the most competitive youth ice hockey tournaments of the season. Bright House Networks is the tournament sponsor in 2013 as part of its deep support for youth sports in Central Florida, and also as part of the company’s support of community events held during the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.
