Rochester Selects Midget Program Set to Launch for 2019-20 Season
For the 2019-2020 travel hockey season Rochester Youth Hockey in partnership with Perinton Youth Hockey and the Rochester Grizzlies is pleased to announce the Rochester Selects Midget Hockey Program at the 15U and 16U Midget levels.
The 16U Rochester Selects will play under the Perinton Youth Hockey USA Hockey charter as a Tier I state and national-bound tournament team. During the fall portion of the season the Selects will play in the highly competitive BEAST league’s top division to offer the players a highly competitive schedule and maximum exposure to prep schools, junior programs and NCAA colleges. Following the fall season the schedule will include one away weekend and one home weekend a month throughout the high school season against national competition. This schedule will allow players the option to compete with their local high school program or, if they choose, additional training on, and off, the ice with the Rochester Selects staff.
The 15U Rochester Selects will play under the Rochester Youth Hockey USA charter as a Tier I state and national-bound team. Like the 16U Selects, this 15U team will participate in the BEAST league’s top division during the fall portion of the season and follow with the ‘soft-split’ season model. The schedule would look to add one home weekend and one away weekend against national competition following the BEAST league season and Western New York playdowns. The schedule model will also allow players the option to play for their local high school programs during the high school hockey season.
