Fall Winter Hockey

The Warriors board has been working hard on the assembly of a great program for the upcoming year and we look forward to having you as a part of our hockey family. Our goal is to build on the past successes of the two clubs and incorporate improvements for the combined Warriors Hockey Club in the coming year.

For the 2024-2025 hockey season, we intend to field two incredibly competitive teams, one at both the Varsity and Junior Varsity levels.

Players will participate in the Illinois West High School Hockey League (Varsity and JV) and have the opportunity to become an Illinois High School Hockey League All Star, be an All-State player, be eligible for a Blackhawk scholarship, participate in the high school state playoffs and have fun competing against other high school rivals.

Fall Winter Details

Our Varsity and JV teams will play approximately 40 to 50 games in front of friends and peers, representing their school and earn high school letters and numerals.

The Warriors Hockey Club has secured prime practice at All Seasons Ice Rinks for both teams. The Wednesday Goalie Clinic and Skills/Systems will rotate each week with Varsity and JV.

All Seasons will also be a prime location for many Illinois West High School Hockey League games.

Players not selected to one of the two teams will be invited to join the Warriors Practice Squad. Additional ice time may be purchased (if available) based on the number of players who accept the Warriors Practice Squad invitation.

Note: The Warriors Hockey Club may only select a maximum of two goalies per team. Goalies not selected will be related to AHAI for an opportunity to join another high school hockey club that needs goalies. This is a great way to continue to develop goalie skills and be ready for next season.

Giving Back to the Community

The Warriors Hockey Club strives to make a difference off the ice by participating in various activities that serve the surrounding community. Each year, players volunteer with the Noon Lions Club to prepare for the Turkey Trot just prior to Thanksgiving. Both teams will also contribute to families in need around the holidays by donating funds and shopping for families within the Trinity Services Program. These two events really bring the players and families together for a greater cause!

  • Parent Meeting - after tryouts have been completed a parent meeting date and time will be announced.
  • Holiday Party - parent holiday party in mid-December (date TBD). Two tickets included with your player fees.
