Is the U8 Team right for me?  Yes, if you are looking for: 

  • No Tryouts - Great for players looking to get skating reps and puck touches in a fun and challenging environment.

  • Hockey games are close to home. Most games are played in the south metro area—no overnight or out-of-town tournaments.

  • The practices will be challenging yet FUN and engaging skill and gameplay. We also include 5v5 and 3v3 games. Games will be fast-paced, allow for lots of puck touches, and teach players to learn to make quick decisions.

  • Affordability-- $495-$795

  • Players can request to be with friends.
