Check out our explainer specifically for families who are new to hockey!

We also offer Learn to Play, which teaches the fundamentals of hockey to new players in a fun, engaging format over the course of 8-10 weeks.

Yes! We offer both CBHL coed travel teams and a Girls' CBHL program. Tryouts take place in the spring for both our coed and girls' teams.

If you have any questions about our travel teams, please contact our CBHL Director Liz Townsend at liz.townsend@novaicedogs.org.

For our rec-level CCHL teams, we typically open registration in late spring/early summer, with priority registration for returning families and then opening to new players as space remains. We don't hold tryouts for CCHL teams and registration is based on capacity. If you are new to the Ice Dogs, email the registrar and ask to be added to our email list.

Travel tryouts take place each spring, with dates announced on our website. For questions about our travel teams, please contact Liz Townsend at liz.townsend@novaicedogs.org.

All Ice Dog coaches are volunteers; many are parents of players or former players. All coaches are USA Hockey certified, complete several hours of USA Hockey certification for the age level they are coaching, are SafeSport certified, and must complete a background check.
