The Elite League is for players that are currently playing hockey after graduating high school(Midget AAA, Juniors, College, Pro, etc). Some high school juniors and seniors(2007s/2008s) may be approved.

 

The league is designed to be high-tempo to simulate real games to provide players with an opportunity to have fun while competing, conditioning, and working on their skills in an organized setting throughout the summer. Our goal is to provide an environment that balances the intense situations of the "real season" with the non-structured sticks-and-pucks sessions of the "off season".​
