We have begun the planning process for the 2010-2011 season of hockey!!!  If you are a house participant, you can sit back and relax and finish the season.  However, if you are a Mini Mountaineer, Girls house, participating in our Crosby program, OR considering making the jump to travel or high school hockey,  there are SEVERAL options available to you next season!  Tryouts will be held on the following dates for these age groups!

Girls age 14 and under         March 29th 5pm
Girls age 19 and under         March 29th 615pm
Squirts age 10 and under     March 29th 730pm    
Peewee age 12 and under   March 30th 5pm

Remember, for our travel programs, age is determined by birth year!  For example; U14 means your child was born in 1996 or younger to participate. 
For High school participation, we are looking at the grade your child will be in starting the 2010-2011 school year!

If you have any questions about these teams, please come to the tryout and ask the coaches.  You can also review the current fee stucture posted on the website as it should not change significantly for next season.  There are several fund raising opportunities as well as individual sponsorships to help defray these expenses. 

Please take time to check out this article from ESPN on parents RULES for watching their kids play hockey!  This is a great read as it might seem humorous but there are some key takeaways that are so TRUE!  Enjoy!
