Our six teams compete at the highest levels of youth and junior hockey, forming a complete player development pathway.

We provide a unique AAA hockey experience that mirrors the junior hockey environment for youth players. Our program features a full 60-game season with nine trips, including four showcase events that give athletes valuable exposure to higher level coaches and scouts. Players benefit from the resources of a true junior program, including team bus travel, a dedicated locker room, and billeting options for those joining from out of town. With top tier coaching and national competition, we prepare youth players for the next step in their hockey careers.

We deliver a competitive junior hockey experience designed to prepare players for higher-level opportunities. Athletes compete in a full season schedule with multiple showcase events, gaining exposure to college and junior scouts. With professional coaching, structured competition, and the support of a true junior program, players develop both on and off the ice while building a pathway toward advancing their hockey careers.
Our NCDC Tier 2 program offers a high-performance junior hockey experience that focuses on development and advancement. Players compete against elite-level competition with extensive exposure to college and professional scouts. With top-tier coaching, structured training, and the resources of a premier program, athletes gain the skills, discipline, and visibility needed to pursue NCAA opportunities and beyond.
