Tentative Date for Kickoff Weekend

We're not ready to announce the date officially. So...I'll unofficially let you know to mark your calendars for the weekend of September 21-22. This year we have a number of special events planned and it's sure to be the best kickoff weekend yet.

If you're not familiar with kickoff weekend, it's the point early in the fall where we mark the beginning of hockey season. We run a weekend long mini-camp (typically at Cushing Academy) where each travel team gets 1-2 practices on-ice, chalk talk, rules talk, off-ice practice, team building and more. That's just Saturday! On Sunday, we bring in a team from out of town for each age level to play an exhibition game to kick things off. Both teams are treated to a pizza party following the game and are able to watch the game video together. It promotes sportsmanship and respect of opposing players.
