2025 Checking Clinics
Please CLICK HERE to sign up for the 2025 Checking Clinic
All players, male and female, are required to attend a checking clinic in both years of U13 and the first year of U15. This includes male and female players playing in non-checking leagues. Each clinic will have 1.5 hours of on-ice instruction.
Goalies are encouraged to attend but are not required to take the checking clinic.
While these are called "checking" clinics, players will learn proper positioning and angling, stick checks, and develop contact confidence. This progression ends with the body-checking component. Player safety and respect for opposing players are also discussed while emphasizing the importance of playing and staying within the game's rules.
U15 players born in 2012 participating in evaluation and tryouts will have a checking clinic as their first ice time. Any player who misses that clinic will be required to attend a clinic before playing in any scrimmages or games. PLEASE NOTE U15 players born in 2011 are not required to attend a checking clinic
