With our co-ed recreational program, our coaches strive to create a fun environment where players can learn and foster a love for the game. We welcome players ages 8U-18U with all levels of ability, contingent upon completing one full year of our Learn To Play program or having played at least one season of hockey. Kent Valley Hockey recreational teams are a great way to grow as a player without the commitments that come with playing for a select-level team.
With our dedicated volunteer coaches, we are able to develop strong teams that consistently preform well in their divisions. Our success has been demonstrated by our teams winning both the 18U-C and 14U-C MHL Championships in the past two years.
