Hello Hockey Families,

Our 15O weekend team will have 45+ games5+ practice weekends in Des Moines, Iowa, multiple home, and away series, and 8 NAPHL & USHL showcases. The attached schedule consists of tier 1 games against other AAA teams. Games will take place primarily from Friday-Sunday across the Midwest (Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Sioux Falls, Omaha, and Sioux City). This 15-Only team will consist of solely players born in 2006.

 

We are having an ID skate next Saturday, July 24th for prospective players and already committed players to skate for the upcoming season. Cost for the skates is $100. The entire day will be at our home rink, Metro Ice Facility (5100 NW 72nd St, Urbandale, IA 50322). You must register and pay online using the ID link below.
