New to hockey or just want a chance to work on skills in a slower game? Here are our local options.

The Skate of the Union tournament, specifically designed for novice players. 

Let freedom ring! The Skate of the Union tournament will take place July 3-5, 2026. The tournament is a draft-style tournament specifically geared towards novice and C/D level players. Because of the draft style, we cannot guarantee that players will necessarily be drafted with friends, spouses, cousins, etc. 

Cost for the tournament is $165. 

Goalies, please contact Daniel Hawkins to discuss registration.

For any questions, please contact Daniel Hawkins or Linnea Morgan.
