The evaluation skates are just a pick up game but the FHL league GM's are present and will evaluate each new player and assign a ranking to be used at our draft. This ensures that we have the correct player profile for each player in the draft.

$15.00 per skate. Payable at the door
All players must present their 2022-23 USA Hockey insurance to be allowed on the ice.
Goaltenders are scheduled for these skates and must contact Jerry Fronek before attending.
