🏒 Know the game plan, Cougars! 🐾
For U7–U15 Skills Skate, participants will begin in alphabetical groups, then be re-sorted based on evaluation scores. The focus is on individual skills and abilities. No competitive 1-on-1 or game-style drills.

🏒 U18 PRE-SEED
U18 is a little different! Participants will initially be grouped based on their team placement from the previous season.

🐾 Has your Cougar hit a growth spurt? Or maybe your Cougar has left the Den, and you’re wondering what to do with all that Southwest gear they’ve outgrown?
Bring it to the Southwest Hockey Gear Swap at our Welcome Back BBQ! 🎉
Drop off your gently used hockey gear or SW clothing and take a browse while you enjoy a hot dog, reconnect with fellow Cougars, and maybe find something new-to-you for your growing player.
One Cougar’s outgrown gear could be another Cougar’s perfect fit! 🐾
