Mission Statement
Our youth hockey program looks to help boys and girls up to age 12 discover the fun and excitement of hockey. Our goal is simple: create a place where kids can learn the game, build their skills, and make lasting friendships — all while having a great time on the ice.
We aim to cultivate a brand of hockey that is about working hard, supporting your teammates, and treating everyone with respect. Our coaches focus on teaching the basics, encouraging teamwork, and helping every player grow — whether they’re brand-new to the sport or looking to take their skills to the next level.
Most of all, we’re proud to be a program that feels like family. For five decades, we’ve brought kids, parents, and the community together around a shared love of hockey Whether it's in the rinks or on the lakes, we’re excited to keep that tradition going for generations to come.
