Who Can Play?
There is a program within the Central Wisconsin Saints Hockey Association that allows everyone an opportunity to play ice hockey. Whether you are a boy, girl, man, woman, young or old, no matter what your socioeconomic status, color, race, or religion, there is an opportunity for you to participate.
Learn to Skate/Play Hockey/Cross-Ice Program
This is an entry level for all new players - athletes who are just learning to skate and want to become involved in the greatest sport on ice.
Most beginner, or Learn-to-Skate/Play Hockey/Cross-Ice, participants are introduced to the game through the USA Hockey Skill Development Program. Here they learn skills and have fun playing in a more age-appropriate sized area than the standard NHL sized rink. Usually the USA Hockey Skill Development Program and cross-ice divide the rink into three sections. These sessions include an emphasis on individual skills and scrimmages where fun is stressed, not winning.
Youth Hockey
All youth hockey for male and female athletes is broken down according to age level designated by birth year.
The Youth levels are 8 & under (Mites), 10 & under (Squirts), 12 & under (Pee Wee), 14 & under(Bantam), 16 & under (Midget Minor) and 18 & under (Midget Major). For female players, the Levels are Girls/Women’s 10 & under, 12 & under, 14 & under, 16 & under and 19 & under.
Within each age division, there is a further breakdown into ability levels such as Community and Travel teams. We have teams at the 6 & under (Mini-Mites), 8 & under (Community Mites & Travel Mites), 10 & under (Community Squirts & Travel Squirts), 12 & under (Travel Pee Wee & Travel Girls), 14 & under (Travel Bantam & Travel Girls), 18 & under (Midget) and U20 & under (Junior Saints).

Junior Hockey
Junior Hockey is available to all athletes under the age of 20 as of December 31. Junior Hockey is an alternative for exceptional athletes who demand a greater challenge than that provided by midget, prep school, or high school teams.

The Central Wisconsin Saints Hockey Association owns the Central Wisconsin Saints Junior Hockey Team which is part of the Great Lakes Junior Hockey League. This team competes at the Junior B level and will be competing at the Junior A level for the 2010-2011 season.
