Nine Tier 1 programs, 27 round-robin games — every team's Friday and Saturday in one place.
The Eastern Alliance Kickoff opens Friday, September 4 and runs through Monday, September 7. For the 2011s it is the second event of the club half season, a week after Beast Launch.
EAK runs three U15 divisions and they never mix. Red is the top group, White sits below it, and Blue is Tier 2. Each division is scored on its own table, so a record in one says nothing about a record in another — which is why every reference on this site names the division.
There is no Tier 2 at 15U in Massachusetts. Every Massachusetts program at this age plays Tier 1, which makes this list simpler than the U16 version: nine Tier 1 National Bound teams, six in Red and three in White.1
Four programs on the Massachusetts Tier 1 list are not entered at EAK: American Hockey Academy · Bay State Breakers · Valley Jr Warriors · Worcester Jr Railers (Elite). Tier declarations are due September 15, so the field can still move.

Only one round-robin game puts two of these programs against each other: Neponset Valley River Rats v Northeast Generals, Friday at 7:20 PM, NESC 3 — marked ⭐ above. Every other game on this page is against a club from outside the Tier 1 group, and the next Massachusetts head-to-head can only come Sunday in the bracket.
Every team plays one game Friday and two Saturday, then a bracket on Sunday. Those seeds are not set until Saturday night, so no Sunday game can be shown yet.
The Elite Prospects Showcase follows the weekend after at Lovell Ice Rink. The Tier 1 National Bound tournament comes in November, ending with the Massachusetts state tournament. Prep school tryouts follow in December.
1 Tier status is taken from the Massachusetts Tier 1 15U listing. Declarations are due September 15, so these are possible Tier 1 National Bound teams, not confirmed ones — a program listed today may not be there after the deadline. ↩
