Register for the Brooklyn Blades - Program Descriptions

Please carefully read the program descriptions before registering — they list the cost and the amount of time you should expect to commit. It's important to register early for our programs: they're popular and fill quickly. Each season we have disappointed parents, children and adult players who registered too late to obtain a spot on our roster.

Women's Travel Team (Levels B and C)


REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN.


Ages: Female players 14 years of age and older
Experience Needed: at least 1 year of Skills Clinic or the equivalent (C Team); at least 3 years competitive play (B Team)
Practices Held: Bayonne High School and Riverbank State Park
Games Held: Tri-State area
Fee: $650 (aproximately)

Travel team for girls and women. Our B Team is the top female team in New York City: many players skated for their collegiate varsity or club teams. Both teams play approximately 16 games/12 practices, and end the season at the world's largest women's ice hockey tournament (held in Brampton, Ontario on Easter Weekend). If you don't own a car, don't worry: the travel teams have a carpool network and no one has ever missed a game because she could not find a ride. Please note that the fee includes a Brooklyn Blades "home" uniform (jersey/socks), but does not include the "away" jersey/socks or the cost of traveling to and from games and practices. The program runs from late September through March. The Women's Travel Team is our most popular program, so sign up early if you want to ensure a spot (team size is limited). Decisions regarding player placement on the B or C teams are made by the coaches and are final.

The Fine Print
We also offer tuition scholarships for youth players. These scholarships are available to individuals who have a strong desire and commitment to play, but cannot afford the fees. If you would like to apply for a scholarship, please email youthteams@brooklynblades.org. Some used equipment may be available.

Last season's participants have their places held until October 1, 2007. After that date, their registrations are accepted on a first-come basis with all new registrants. The waiting list for new players is ranked by registration date.

Program schedules are not final until 2007-2008 season ice contracts are signed at the end of the summer. Many of our programs have been held at the same day and time for several years, but this could possibly change based on ice availability. If a program time changes from that which is posted here, you will be eligible for a refund if you can not attend at your desired program at the new time.
