Roosters Summer Program

What aged players are appropriate for this program?

The 2025 Rooster development cohort is for 2011-2016 birth years (Squirt-Bantam).

NOTE 1: We do offer a fun cross-ice "games only" summer league for Mites at Chase Arena on Sunday nights. They play 8 games in July/August at 5PM. Each registered Mite player will get a home & away Rooster jersey and their registration is only $100.

NOTE 2: We also have a FREE registration for High School and College players who want a competitive game league at Chase Arena. They will also have the opportunity to earn community service hours if they want to be on-ice mentors for our youth athletes.

(Mentors wear full gear, will be demonstrating reps and drills for our youth athletes on skills nights. They can also fill in during the Bantam/JV scrimmages if there are extra shifts available)

What time of the year does this program run?

Where are practices and games typically held?

Sundays - RoosterDome: Chase Arena, Natick

Dryland workouts and on-ice skills will be at local venues (Bedford Edge, Wayland's Loker Field, Boston Hockey Skills, etc).

When are practices and how often are they?

In addition to our in-person sessions, we will have ongoing instructional content, podcasts, film review, video instruction, and zoom calls with Division 1 coaches and other hockey experts.

The Roosters are a development team. We create an ecosystem that helps youth players understand the demands of higher-level hockey as well as what it means to be a great teammate. We use a "constraint led approach" to helping players learn the game.

And we design our curriculum with one primary intent: to keep things fun, and keep kids engaged.
