Practices

JV and Varsity practice at least 2 times a week at West Meadows during a 60-minute slot.

One time slot for skills with combined JV and Varsity.

Second time slot for team-only practice.

Games

JV and Varsity both play in the competitive IHSHL North Central Division.

Between regular season league games, playoffs, scrimmages, and tournaments, we average about +35 games.

Jerseys Ordering

We will have game jerseys to try on at the 7/24 and 7/28 Summer Skates for anyone who wants to order their jersey early; this should ensure that your player will have their jersey by the start of league games.


We will be doing 2 orders, one at the end of July and another in August right after teams are formed. (Returning players from the 2024/2025 season do not need to order a new jersey unless they want to, need to size up, etc.).


If your player cannot attend either of the jersey fitting dates but still wants to order a jersey early, please let me know. (Jersey fittings for the 2nd order will take place before/after evaluation skates.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I double-roster or play another sport?

Yes, you can double-roster with another hockey program or another sport. What makes high school hockey different from club, is the flexibility to enjoy other groups and activities.
