About Travel


Why Travel

Travel Hockey is our competitive hockey program. The emphasis of Travel hockey is on individual player development and fielding competitive teams. Players are selected on a tryout basis. Time commitment is 3-5 hours per week. Home games are played at Southwest Ice Arena. Away games are played at other area rinks in the entire Chicago land area.

Travel league cost includes the following:
 

  • At least 24 NIHL games plus referees
  • Power skate every week and Goalie instruction
  • Typically 3-5 hours of ice per week
  • A home and an away pair of socks
  • Player’s admission to the end of the season banquet plus trophy
  • Final figures will be provided upon rostering based on the number of players per team.
* The price does not include jerseys. New players must purchase two (one home, one away) St. Jude jerseys. Returning travel players may use their jerseys
purchased last year.
In addition, travel teams may participate in up to 4 tournaments.  Travel teams may participate in two team fundraiser’s with the board’s approval. These events are optional. Out of pocket travel team fees may not exceed $350.00 per player.
