The commitment to AAA hockey requires being on the ice 3-6 days per week (depending on the age), extensive travel/additional costs due to travel and a larger financial commitment then association.

Our older boy's have an additional practice each week. If times open up on weekends or during the week throughout the season coaches will add those practices on a individual team basis.
