Hockey Talk

I can’t believe that I have been already working here at the Arctic Wolf Ice Center for an entire year! The year has flown by and looking back on all the hard work, it really makes me feel good to see where our hockey program is right now.

 

            If you haven’t been up to date with the AWIC hockey program lately, here is a quick recap.

 

            Summer is here and our high school team has been working super hard since May. The boys are practicing four days a week and then playing a game on the weekends. Monday and Wednesday nights are on-ice practice while Tuesday and Thursday nights are reserved for off- ice practice with Innovative Fitness’ trainer Charles. Charles has done a great job pushing these kids and getting them physically and mentally tough for the summer and what will be our Fall team. All the hard work has landed the boys in 3rd place thus far in the Midget Houston Summer League. For a team who found it tough to win a game in the Midget division all year long, this is a tremendous accomplishment for them and the Brazos Valley area.

 

            Our 12U program is running strong again this summer with some out of town skaters coming to the AWIC to participate. We have two boys skating with us from New York and a new goalie from the Montgomery area. This same team has a tournament planned in San Antonio coming up in July. They will face some tough competition and gain valuable experience playing games. Big changes are coming for the 12U group so make sure you stay in touch with what is going on with this age group.

 

Wolf pack hockey classes and Mighty Mites are also in full swing again this summer. Our numbers in each of these groups are still growing, with new skaters signing up every week. As always we are looking to add new skaters all the time, please don’t hesitate to come out and skate yourself or have someone you know who is interested come skate.

 

Gold’s Gym and University Title hockey league are also in full swing and if you would like to come watch some competitive hockey make sure you check them out. Gold’s Gym consists of players from the high school, college and junior levels -including some of our very own Texas A&M skaters who are staying on the ice to keep in shape.

The University Title group is a great group to skate with if you are looking to have a lot of fun and enjoy some competitive hockey. Our 30 plus Grey Beards league are playing the final games of their season and this group too has been most successful. I look forward to hosting this league again and having folks come out to skate.

 

Ice Hockey is here in the Brazos Valley Area and we are going to continue to take important strides in growing hockey at the AWIC. If you have any questions or any interest in playing at any of our levels, please don’t hesitate to contact me at anytime.

 

Play hockey and stay cool this summer!

 

See you at the rinks,
