House League teams are coached by dedicated parental coaches who give freely of their time to assist the program. Players are never penalized for missing a team function due to other commitments. On the other hand, the All Star program is for the highly dedicated player and family who wants increased ice time, instruction, and competition. There are typically 2-3 All Star teams at each age level. These teams skate at least four times weekly with practices, skill development, and games.
Teams also participate in local and one out of town tournament.
The season begins after Labor Day and continues through February. Depending on age and ability, teams play 35-55 games for the season. All Star teams are coached by highly dedicated, paid coaches who generally do not have children on the team. These coaches run highly effective practices that lead to higher skill development and improvement. Unlike the house league, players are expected to attend all team activities.
