AAA Spring Season

Spring Season Overview

We’re excited to kick off another season of our AAA Spring hockey! The 2026 Spring season will begin the week of Monday, April 6, 2026, the Spring Season will conclude with the final practices for teams on Thursday, May 7, 2026 and last tournaments ending on Sunday, May 10, 2026.

Our Spring Season offers a fantastic opportunity for players to continue their development during the off-season, working with the same experienced coaching staff they’ve come to know throughout the regular season.

It’s also a great chance for players outside our organization to try out for the first time and get a taste of what it’s like to be part of our program, potentially setting the stage for continuing into 2026-2027 Winter season.

The coaching and training our players receive during the Spring season will give participants a great opportunity to be a part of everything our program can offer and experience the level of excellence we strive for year-round!

Tryouts

Check-In

Each participant will receive a numbered jersey upon check-in, which will take place in the main lobby. Check-in is required only on the first day of tryouts. Players should wear the same jersey (and number) for both tryout sessions. At the end of the tryouts, the jersey will be theirs to keep.


  • Parents will not be allowed inside either rink during any on-ice tryout sessions. If your skater needs help with their gear, you can definitely assist them. We ask that as soon as you're finished you return to the lobby or exit the arena. THANK YOU for your cooperation!
