U14, U16 & U19 TEAMS

We are committed to delivering a competitive hockey experience that is synonymous with development, opportunity, and academic achievement.

We've only competed at the Tier II level since 2017.  In that short period, we've built a reputation for hockey excellence that includes  60 boarding school placements,  32 college placements, participation in the regional tournament every year of eligibility, and two USA Hockey National Championship titles.  

Quickly,  we've become the destination program for players looking to advance to their next level of play.  We look forward to building upon our legacy in the upcoming season.  Learn more about why we have the Best Tier II Program in CT.
