In my kid’s case, she went with a group from Northern California- it’s a bit of tradition for our PDP program (that underwrote some cost but it was not inexpensive). The team played (and lost sadly) in two finals (in the 2d year she went, i got to watch on a pretty bad livestream as she got her first ever concussion (I think it was the semifinal against a Norwegian team)). Parents who went had an absolute blast (I did not go either year).
