2024-2025 TRHC Season Information
2024-03-09Toms River Hockey Club announces season information for the upcoming 2024-2025 travel hockey season
The Toms River Hockey Club has been providing a competitive travel ice hockey program for players in the greater Ocean County area for over 49 years. Proud to be one of the remaining non-profit organizations, we are excited to again offer a comprehensive and affordable "family first" travel hockey program for the upcoming 2024/25 season in conjunction with the guidelines set forth by USA Hockey and the Atlantic Amateur Hockey Association (AAHA). This season, we will begin a new chapter in the history of the Blackhawks as the newest member organization of the Atlantic Hockey Federation (AHF). This new direction will give our players and their families renewed regional competition, an exciting new level of exposure, and all of the opportunities that come with a league that now boasts organizations across 13 states. While this new direction has required some adjustments to our tuition, we remain committed to offering our traditional discounts, including 50% off tuition for full time goaltenders, and family sibling discounts (see below).
We are very proud to announce our tryout dates, hockey program information, and tuition structure for the 2024/2025 Toms River Blackhawks travel ice hockey season. For the upcoming season, we are again offering a limited travel Mite ADM developmental program, regular goaltending clinics, the inclusion of the club's skills instructors during team practices and specialized clinic sessions throughout the season.
Our club plans to skate competitive travel hockey teams from the 8U through the 18U age levels to compete in the Atlantic Hockey Federation (AHF) as well as various showcases and tournaments throughout the region.
Our popular 6U/8U Mite ADM developmental program will continue to be offered to our youngest players looking to enter into organized travel hockey. This program puts a focus on player development and skills acquisition for the younger 6U/8U Mite players with a true 3:1 practice to game ratio over the course of the season, all in a FUN and fast paced learning environment. Included in our 6U/8U Mite ADM program tuition is approximately 40-50 on-ice practices, participation in the AAHA Mite Jamboree, a limited number of games later in the season, and participation in an end of season 6U/8U tournament! Our 6U/8U Mite ADM players will also have the opportunity to receive limited goaltending training at practices so they can have a chance to try out the position during the season to see if they like it. You can find all the information on our 6U/8U Mite ADM Program on our website HERE.
Our 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U and 18U teams will begin their seasons participating in the AHF’s Spring Festival Parity Event on April 27th & 28th while our 8U teams will participate on June 8th & 9th. The AHF’s Spring Festival Parity Event is used by the league to create a competitively balanced schedule for the upcoming season. Our teams will return to the ice in early July for weekly summer practices which will run through the end of August. Our players will also participate in off-ice dryland, strength, agility and conditioning training during the early part of the season. Our 10U, 12U, and 14U age level teams will receive supplemental skills clinics during the season led by our TRHC skills instructors and will also have our instructors present during team practices throughout the course of the season. Our 10U, 12U, and 14U goaltenders will also be able to participate in club goaltending clinics throughout the season, led by our TRHC goaltending instructors.
In addition to very competitive and affordable tuition, we will continue to offer a number of traditional TUITION DISCOUNTS to our members.
-
GOALTENDERS - 50% OFF your season's tuition for all FULL TIME goalies from 10U Squirt thru 18U Midget levels (does NOT apply to 8U Mites).
