1) Happy Fathers Day to all those rad hockey dads! 2) Get your rad dad (or yourself) in on this money maker! Season-long Lions squares! Not sure about the math but we think you’ve got good odds of winning something … at some point. What we know for sure is you’d be supporting an awesome youth hockey team!

We’ve got a great vibe on this team - development-focused coaching with extra skills training this summer, great kids and fun families with no drama, low costs, and a community-based independently owned rink. Our group competes at a high level and we’re looking to round out our roster with a few hard working players at all positions, including a 2nd goalie. Come check us out at tryouts, and feel free to reach out with your questions as you’re considering your next move.
