The Vipers were founded in 2013 to provide our kids the opportunity to play highly competitive hockey across MA, CT, and NY with the objective of preparing them for their HS seasons and beyond. We are a player and family-focused not-for-profit organization committed to competitive hockey, strong professional coaching, the development of each player and transparency to our members. Our teams are run as financial collaboratives and we divide expenses equally among all players. The Vipers are proud members of the Premier Hockey League of New England (PHLNE). We complement our PHLNE league games with a strong independent schedule.
All players must obtain the 2023-2024 USA Hockey number. A USA Hockey number can be purchased by visiting:

Once you have purchased your USA number please submit your number to the Vipers by clicking on the link below.
Vipers will begin a series of Monday skates at Lossone beginning June 26. Each skate will feature a review/reinforcement of foundational elements of game play that are essential to the systems the teams will implement. In most cases, the concepts and drills are available for the players to review prior to the Monday skate. Check your email for links each week.
We will break the skates into two sessions by teams:
6:00 PM 14U, 15U Pfau, 15/16U Freniere
7:10 PM 16U Crutch, 17/18U Adams, 18U Rousseau
These skates are provided at no additional cost to our players,

The 2023 Vipers tryout schedule is listed below. The cost of the tryout is $60 plus $20 for a new Vipers Practice jersey. The $20 for the jersey is fully refundable (in cash) at the time the jersey is returned after the player's last tryout, or the player can keep the jersey with no refund. Please register at the link above.
Please note that the Vipers home ice in the fall is primarily at Lossone Rink on the Williston Campus in Easthampton and we will again skate out of Lossone this Fall. Our spring ice is primarily at the Mullins Rink on the UMass Campus. Because Lossone takes the ice out in early March, our tryouts are wherever ice is available. As ice is tight in the area during tryout week, the tryouts will be in Holyoke and Greenfield.
