House League Hockey
House league hockey is an important program offered by the Huskies. While it requires less commitment of time for the participants, it is an important feeder system for our travel program and most importantly, it provides an opportunity for players to play a competitive brand of hockey if they are not willing or able to play at a travel hockey level. Our house league teams are entered in the South Suburban Hockey League (SSHL), one of the finest house leagues in Illinois. House League is available to Mite thru Bantam divisions. Players participate in an evaluation process overseen by our hockey directors and players are distributed to teams to ensure a balance of skill. It is the intention of the Huskies that all players signing up for House League as well as all players not selected on a travel team will be placed on a House League roster.
While House League hockey is not considered as competitive as travel hockey, the Huskies recognize that it is no less important to continue the development of its players at all levels of play. It is our commitment to provide appropriate practice time and quality instruction throughout the season including mandatory Power Skate and Goalie Clinic sessions. As a member of the SSHL, the Huskies adhere to their philosophy of "Balanced Ice Time - B.I.T." which promotes reasonable ice time for all players-in-good-standing except in the final five minutes of close games.
Our house program includes all practice ice, league game ice, power skates, goalie clinics, coaches, referees, jerseys, and. At the discretion of team coaches and parents, House league players can also participate in non-league tournaments throughout the season that are geared to the House League level of play.
