Warriors Spring Hockey

Arapahoe Travel Hockey is proud to announce its 6th Annual Spring Development Program! The development program will focus on maintaining and building competitive players’ individual skill sets, including skating, puck handling, conditioning, and overall team and individual hockey IQ.

Goalie sessions will be on separate days from regular scheduled practices and will take place weekly at South Suburban Sports Complex and Family Sports Center.

In addition to Goal Guardian sessions, our goalie instructors will be on the ice with our goalies for one regular practice session per week.

Goalie sessions for all goalies are included in the Spring Program’s Registration Fees.
