IMPORTANT REMINDERS
The House League Program is focused on a fun and inclusive environment for hockey players of all levels. Equal ice time for all players and a commitment to keeping the game fun for all is our first priority. It is about having fun, being active, learning fundamental hockey skills, fair play, and developing friendships and love for hockey.
