NEW PRACTICE LOCATION

We will be conducting a few additional practices at a new place called The O'Zone, located in Hanover Air Park right across the street from the airport. The rink fee for these practices will be divided evenly among team members.

To learn more about the O'Zone, click on the link above. It's a really unique place created by our good friends Pat and Nancy O'Reilly. Not only is it a convenient location to practice and play, but it's also a great place that kids can go after school.
