For players ready for a bigger commitment, our travel hockey teams offer additional development and competition against teams from other communities. Across every level, we emphasize effort, teamwork, confidence, and a love of the game.

Recreational Youth Leagues

Our coed House League gives players ages 6–14 a place to develop skills, enjoy friendly competition, and experience being part of a team. Winter league includes practices and games, while summer league offers a flexible, game-focused format.

Equipment rental is available for all youth leagues for $25 per season.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age groups do your youth sports programs cover?

Our Youth House Hockey League serves kids ages 6–14, with divisions organized by age. Younger children can begin through Learn to Skate, while Learn to Play helps children transition into hockey. Age requirements for introductory programs, travel teams, camps, and clinics vary, so check the details for each session.

Do you offer beginner programs for children who have never played sports?

Yes! Children don’t need previous sports experience to get started. Learn to Skate is the best starting point for kids who are new to the ice. Once they’re comfortable skating, Learn to Play Hockey introduces basic hockey skills in a supportive setting.

Does my child need to own hockey equipment?

No. Learn to Play offers an option to include hockey gear with registration, and our equipment rental program provides most protective gear and skates for league players. Sticks, jerseys, and hockey socks are purchased separately.

Can my child play hockey without joining a travel team?

Absolutely. Our recreational House League is a great choice for kids who want to learn, make friends, and enjoy games locally. Travel hockey is an additional option for players and families seeking more competition and a larger commitment.
