2022 18U Wings Registration - South

Fall Season 2022

The Westfield Wings is an independent fall pre-high school program run by Westfield Youth Hockey. Prospective players can register, tryout and are selected by team coaches and organization leadership with feedback from local hockey resources. Players are selected based on their hockey ability and their character on and off the ice. While consensus is typically achieved, the Head Coach has final selection authority.

Since the Westfield Wings is a Fall high school development program with an emphasis on Westfield High School and Southwick High School, the following guidelines are used for team selection:

1. Returning Westfield Wings players unless there were behavioral issues or a significant skill mismatch

2. Westfield High School / Southwick Varsity players

3. Westfield High School / Southwick Junior Varsity players that are identified as “Varsity Track”

4. Junior Varsity / Varsity track players that live in Westfield or near-by communities

The 2022 fees are:

Payment #1: $50 registration and tryout fee

Payment #2: TBD

Payment #3: TBD

Players are not allowed to practice or play games until all payments are made.

USA Hockey registration is also been required and is completed by each player.
