To all present and prospective Jaguar Families, On behalf of the Jaguar Hockey Club Board of Directors and Coaching Staff, I would like to welcome you to the 2015-2016 Fall Hockey Season! This season we will have Squirt through Midget teams in the Northern Illinois Hockey League (NIHL) as well as Northwest Hockey League (NWHL). Our Midget AAA program will also participate in the National Junior Prospects League (NJPHL). The mission of the Jaguars is to focus on team as well as individual play. Both will be developed through clinics and programs of ice hockey, competition emphasizing sportsmanship, cooperation, self-discipline, self-confidence, individual responsibility and respect for others while experiencing the power of quality hockey. The largest change to The Jaguar Hockey Club, as well as across Illinois this year, is at the mite level. Mite hockey has moved away from USA Hockey to avoid limitations in games as well as surface limitations. In order to give our families and players the best experience and development, Mite 8U full ice hockey will be offered through the Jr. Jaguars and will participate in the CUHL (Chicago United Hockey League.)
If you have any questions or need additional information about any of the information listed for fall or on the website, please feel free to contact any board member or email me at [email protected]. See you at the rink!
Keri Zschach President, Jaguar Hockey Club [email protected] cell 815.671.7082
