The Columbus Voyagers hockey team strives to provide its players with the best opportunities to develop their hockey skills, character, work ethic and sportsmanship so they are best prepared for High School hockey. We believe we provide the best opportunities for players in Central Ohio outside of a AAA program, to that end we have setup the following.

 

AGES: For the 2024-25 season:
14U (Bantam)AA - 2011 & 2010

Tryout evaluations and Process:

Sunday, 4/14/24 - 2:00pm - 3:10pm @ Chiller Ice Works.

Tuesday, 4/16/24 - 7:20pm - 8:30pm @ Dublin Chiller.

Wednesday, 4/17/24 - 7:40pm - 8:50pm @ Dublin Chiller.

Tryout cost is $85/player - This is NON-REFUNDABLE. We strongly encourage attendance at all 3 days of tryouts, however If your player CANNOT attend all tryout dates please send an email to info@voyagershockey.com so the coaches are aware so we can better focus evaluations.

Players will be run through various drills and scrimmages. Tryouts are "closed" for viewing. Players will be evaluated by the coachhing staff and third party coaches.

Offers can be sent out at any point during the tryout process.

**Commitment fees are due within 24hrs of being offered a roster spot. That commitment fee is $600 and is applied to your players remaining dues for the 24-25 season. If your player is offered a spot you will have 24hrs to accept or decline. If you do not accept/decline or pay the commitment fee, at the 24hr mark that spot will go to the next player.**

The purpose of the commitment fee is to ensure your players commitment to the team when accepting a roster spot.

Season Overview:

The hockey season varies but usually runs late August to early March.

Offseason conditioning will start in July

The Voyagers will be hosting a checking clinic before the season starts and is Mandatory for any player accepting a spot.

For the 2024-25 season, our intent is to have the following team:
