Required equipment
Many people have asked what the required equipment is for kids to play in this league. Each player must wear:
Helmet with face shield (wire grid or plexiglass)
Mouthpiece
Elbow protection
Gloves
Knee pads/shin guards
Skates
In addition, each player will need a stick (all wood is preferred since the plastic blades are not strong enough for game play)
Several other items are optional:
Girdle (helpful for younger kids who fall often)
Shoulder pads (this is non-contact, but incidental contact does occur)
Water bottle (Summer season is hot, and the kids need to drink lots of water)
All of these items are often available at used sports equipment stores.

Winter Season approaching fast!
The teams have been assigned and you should be getting a call from your coach very soon. Practices will start this week. If you have not yet registered with USA Hockey, please do so immediately. It can be done at: http://usahockeyregistration.com/ Simply click on "inline" and follow the directions. They will send you a registration number which needs to be forwarded to Tom Kehl (tkehl@yahoo.com)
We were fortunate enough to be able to form 4 Junior, 4 Squirt, and 3 Mite teams. This should make for better variety of opponents. We are currently working on the season schedule - you should be able to get it from your coach soon.
Reminder, opening day is December 2nd. Get out and skate!
