Families can now register online and select the appropriate age group and program as detailed tryout schedules and team information are released for the 2026–2027 season.
In addition to Learn to Play Hockey and The JRHC House League, the Junior Railers Hockey Club offers teams that compete in the Northstar Youth Hockey League (NSYHL), Valley Hockey League (VHL), Elite-9 Hockey League (E9), New England Girls Hockey League (NEGHL), and have 14U–18U National Bound teams — providing a clear development pathway and strong competition at every level.
