*See below for information on Youth Teams & Girls Teams powered by Matt Haney Hockey!!
Youth Teams
The Tri-City Eagles are very excited to announce the return of spring teams in 2024!!! We are also excited to continue our association with Matt Haney Hockey for Girls spring teams!!!
EXPECTATIONS:
Tri-City seeks to provide a fun, competitive environment for players to continue playing hockey through the spring months. It is a great opportunity to continue skill development, make new friends, learn from new coaches, and stay active during the last few weeks of the school year.
We are looking forward to building on our advent season last spring. Here is quick glance at our updates:
- Assigned coaches
- Last year, coaches rotated and moved around from team to team.
- While this will still take place, each team will now have assigned coaches to facilitate the practice and game experience.
- We like the flexible nature of rotating coaches, but also want to create a stronger leadership structure for each team, as well as relationship building between players and coaches.
- Tournaments
- Being our first spring team season, we did go through some growing pains with tournaments as some were canceled, full, and/or unable to provide the appropriate competitive level.
- This year, we have already communicated with all our tournament selections to insure our inclusion. While we cannot guarantee perfection, this is a big improvement from last year.
- Tournament Flex Option (YOUTH ONLY)
- Each assembled team will compete in 3 tournaments this spring.
- Players offered roster sports will have the option to participate in either 2 of those tournaments or all 3, per the needs/wants of their particular family.
- Registration for all 3 tournaments will be $800.
- Registration for 2 tournaments will be $750. Information on which two will be collected post tryouts.
- Uniforms
- Spring team uniforms are not included in registration fees and are an additional cost, however, we will be using the same uniforms as last year.
- Therefore, players who participated last year may use last year's uniform again. Numbers were recorded and are protected.
- For Tri-City Eagles Spring Teams (YOUTH), uniforms include one jersey and one pair of socks.
SPRING TEAM SEASON:
- There will be 6 practices, beginning May 1st and concluding June 5th. Each practice is 80 minutes of length, for a total of 8 hours on ice. Practice lengths are elongated to minimize the number of weekly trips to the rink while still maintaining a competitive on-ice experience.
- TOURNAMENTS
-
- 1. Delaware Spring Thaw Tournament in Newark, Delaware on 4/19-21
-
- 2. Cherry Blossom Tournament in Laurel, Maryland on 5/17-19

COST:
- Team Registration = $750 for 2 Tournaments, $800 for 3 Tournaments
