Tonight is the last opportunity for players born in 2000, 1999, 1998, and 1997 to get involved with this state of the art program.

Due to the overwhelming turnout, we will be adding another Squirt Major (1998) team to the program. This season we will also be offering goalie instruction as well as a Professional Power Skating Coach at all levels.
