Mouth guard, jock/jill, skate guards, and neck guard are the responsibility of the family. Equipment hand out is in Oct. and equipment turn in is in April.

It is never too late to start your child in hockey, but an earlier than later start is recommended. Previous skating experience is helpful, but is not required. The upper levels (Squirts, PeeWees & Bantams) do have a "tryout". The goal of these tryouts is to place your skater on a team of skaters with similar abilities, allowing them to play with kids that are at a relatively same level of play. Mites will go through an evaluation to ensure skaters are grouped with like-skaters. Click below to learn more.
The hockey season runs approximately from about October until early March. Our younger teams will start a bit later and we do our best to schedule "age appropriate" practice times. All teams are divided by their age level.

If you are new to hockey, we recommend you head to a local hockey outfitter. They will be sure to get you a package that has all the safety gear your child will need and make sure the sizes fit to ensure your child is safe.
