The Bluehawks Travel program is for Squirts to Bantams. Please reference the birth year chart for appropriate ages/levels.

Preseason skates begin August 17 followed by tryouts starting August 25. The season runs through the end of February.

Practices and home games are played at the Northbrook Sports Center

Each team will have on average 3 practices per week including skill sessions and team practices.

Teams will play approximately 35-50 games including seeding round, regular season, playoffs, and tournaments.

Goalies will attend goalie clinics once a week. Goalie staff to be announced soon!

Each family with one or more children in House and/or Travel programs will be required to complete volunteer hours throughout the year. There will also be an “Opt Out” option. 

NBHL will utilize the Crossbar system to manage our volunteer opportunities. This program is not intended to be a fundraiser. There is a lot of volunteer work and hours to be completed each year and this program is meant to spread the hours needed among the entire program.

Team managers will collect money at the beginning of the season for a team account or "slush fund". These funds will be used for team expenses such as a 3rd tournament, coaches travel expenses, and any other special team events. The amounts can vary but are anticipated to be around $400-$500. This should be lower than previous years as the first tournament fee is now included in the season fee.

Game Jerseys: Funds raised from the Parent Social will be used to help offset the cost of game jerseys this year. The organization will cover the cost of one jersey and families will be billed $100 for the other.

Game socks and pant shells are included in the season fee.

Practice jerseys will be given out at the start of tryouts.

Each level will have 4 preseason skates followed by 3 tryouts. These are included in the $325 tryout fee.
