About Us
Who we are
We are a youth hockey association based in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, with our home ice arena located in Negaunee, Michigan. We proudly serve the south and west end communities of Marquette County, including Negaunee, Ishpeming, Westwood, Gwinn, Republic, and Michigamme.
Our program offers a complete player development pathway, beginning with Learn to Skate, followed by house-level hockey from 8U through 16U. When participation numbers allow, we also field A and AA travel teams, providing competitive opportunities for advanced players.
Our mission is to develop skilled, confident, and sportsmanlike athletes, culminating in participation at the Negaunee High School Varsity Hockey level.
