Welcome to the home page of the
Marquette American Legion Bantam AA Hockey Team
We are a proud member of the Marquette Junior Hockey Corporation
Legion Hockey is based in Marquette, Michigan on the southern shore of Lake Superior in the beautiful Upper Pennisula of Michigan.
Legion Hockey boasts a very competitive schedule teamed with an intense on and off ice conditioning program that is not only skill oriented, but teaches team play along with proper conditioning of it's players both mentally and physically.
Legion Hockey participates in the Northern International Hockey League
along with games and tournaments throughout the midwest and Ontario.
What it takes to be a Legion Hockey Player:
Our players are expected to have the right attitude and work ethic to take their game to the next level. Players on our team are some of the best players in their age group from this region. We want our players to take pride in the knowledge that wearing a Legion jersey means something special. Above all we want to improve our players skill development and maximize their potential while still making it fun to come to the rink. Success will be measured in many different ways, the number of wins being only one aspect. Legion Hockey is for those players who wish to compete with and play with the best. Let's have a great season all!
"To love what you do and feel that it matters--how could anything be more fun?" - Katharine Graham (Does that answer your question?)
"To the world, you may only be one person, but to one person, you may be the world." Unknown
"Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are." -- John Wooden "
"Kids don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care."
HEART
- it may be hard to define, but we all know it when we see it. Shakespheare called it the glorious intangible.
-Heart is in the will to do, and the soul to dare. It's two parts caring and three parts passion. It's people who give more than they take.
-Heart has no particular age, gender, or color, accepts no boundaries, offers no excuses, overcomes all adds and comes through smiling.
"A group becomes a team when all members are sure enough of themselves and their contributions to praise the skill of others." Anonymous
Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four Cs. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.

"Why do we skate back and forth night after night? Skating so hard we throw up. Skating so hard your heart beat rings in your head, while your lungs are grasping for air. Late nights, early mornings, Friday nights, Saturday evenings, broken bones, torn muscles and deep bruises. We skate through it all. Because we live off our adrenaline, because the game frees your spirit, because the party in the locker room is fine, because your invincible once you step on the ice, because a shot can make you smile all night, sniping the twine, the rattling of the boards, the feel of the puck, and skates carving into the ice is a rhythm to live by, because its possible to skate fast enough to leave all your worries behind. Sweat is the cologne of our accomplishment. Why? Why would someone push themselves so hard? It's not for the money, it's not for the girls, and it's not for the fame. We do it because we love it"

Our game plan is to teach and develop the players both on and off the ice, so that they are not only better hockey players but better individuals as well.
Our goal is simple, to get the kids to "the next level".
We Guarantee 2 things, "they will learn, and they will have fun".
