Why choose the Jr Raiders?
We believe hockey is more than just a sport, but more so a lifestyle that develops well rounded young adults. This is a sport where players learn patience, hard work, determination, and perseverance. It’s not always how the game ends, but how you held yourself during that game. Did you work as hard as you could, did you work well with your teammates, were you respectful to your coaches & referees? These are some of the questions our coaches focus on, yes, our coaches strive to win and encourage players to develop into the best player they can but there is more to hockey than that. That is what the Jr Raider mandate is, creating players for life. Hockey is a game for life!
