Winnetka Hockey Club Youth Travel Philosophy
The Winnetka Hockey Club All-Star program is
designed for the child, and family, that desires a more competitive hockey
experience.
The goal of the All-Star program is to allow
highly skilled athletes an opportunity to develop their skills while receiving
top-flight coaching, and to compete
against other highly skilled teams. The Winnetka Hockey Club prides itself in
having one of the most experienced, knowledgeable coaching staffs in the
area, led by our Hockey Director D.J. LaVarre. The season begins in early
September and concludes in early March. Each team will skate on the average
4-5 times weekly, including team practice, skill development, and games. In
addition to the Winnetka Ice Arena, the WHC relies on ice at other facilities
such as Heartland in Lincolnwood and Lake Forest College.
We participate as member of the Northern Illinois
Hockey League with 28 other hockey associations throughout the Chicago area. In
addition to a full schedule of league games, each team participates in one out
of town tournament and a local Thanksgiving Tournament.
