Frequently Asked Questions
If I don't have a disability rating from the VA, can I still participate?
You can still participate in our C or D league teams even if you don't have a disability rating. If you have a Purple Heart, you may sign up for the Warrior Hockey team regardless of rating.
What if I can't commit to a full season on a team?
Check out our Drop-In or Stick and Puck sessions if you still want to hit the ice with fellow vets on a more casual basis!
I've never played before, can I still join?
Absolutely! If you just want to try things out, keep an eye out for stick & puck, drop-in, or skills development sessions. If you're looking to start playing regularly, sign up for our D League team!
Can I sign up for more than one team?
Yes! You can participate in both the Warrior Hockey team and a C or D league team.
I registered! What's next?
