Any student who lives in and goes to a public school in Harford or Cecil County, is home schooled and lives in Harford or Cecil County or a private school in Harford or Cecil County that does not have a hockey team.

There are many great reasons to play hockey. Starting with the bonds created in the locker room to the relationships formed on ice, hockey creates life-long friendships. This camaraderie shared on and off the ice encourages teamwork and the natural development of leadership skills. It is more than a game - it develops skills that provide a solid foundation for a lifetime from athletic prowess to confidence, pride, focus and responsibility. Hockey’s unique source of physical fitness promotes healthy living. Players are set up for success as they learn time management skills by balancing school, responsibilities at home, time at the rink and playing with friends. Last, but not least, hockey is fun! The thrill of carrying the puck up the ice on a breakaway, the exhilaration of scoring your first goal or making that amazing save is possible due to the encouraging environment hockey provides to try new things and grow as a hockey player and person.
