Jersey Ordering

Game jerseys will be available to try on and order at Nelson Rink at the 7/24 at 6:40pm and 7/28 @ 8:10pm.

Players should bring their shoulder and elbow pads.

We want to ensure that players will have their jerseys by the start of league games.

Returning players from the 2024/2025 season do not need to order a new jersey unless they want to, need to size up, etc.

Fall Season Cost

Upon evaluations being complete, you will be informed of a roster spot. From there you will be responsible for paying for the fall season either in one payment or a payment plan.

The player fees for the fall season will be $3600 (skaters) and $1800 (goalies).

Families may pay in full or in 4 monthly payments Sept 1, Oct 1, Nov 1, Dec 1.

Player fees include all games, practices, two tournaments (out of town and local) and coaches gifts. There is no team fund.

Helmets/gloves/pants - preferred color is black or navy.

Warm-ups and hockey bags will be available as optional add-ons to jersey orders.

Tournaments

One out-of-state and one local tournament are included in player fees.

The out-of-state tournament will be within a reasonable driving distance. We are targeting college towns to give players an opportunity to visit a university campus.



Possible Extra Tournament

We may offer an additional tournament during the season. If this takes place, it would be an optional event, and any associated costs would be the responsibility of the participating families as this extra tournament is outside of the season cost.
