Futures Hockey League

How It Works

In our U-16 + 18 Divisions member players range from: Bantam Major, Varsity, as well as under 15, 16, and 18 players. The youth divisions are comprised of AA-AAA level players ranging from select 2015’s to 2011′ birth years.

No different than our in-season play, game results and player statistics are kept and cataloged for team and individual statistic honors. These are not pick-up or shinny games! The mission of the League is off-season player development and situational growth through game-play. Games are coached, and positive-productive habits are taught.

STEP THREE | What’s the Draft Process?

The Futures League Draft begins mid May. Applicants are reviewed by League Commission.

Players are Drafted and 4 Teams are formed for each division.
