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.
Tryouts for the Western Mass Vipers for each age group will take place on the dates and times below. Program details are listed below this post.
The tryout fee is $50 plus a $20 refundable deposit for a new, numbered Vipers practice jersey that will be used by the player throughout the tryouts. The player may keep the jersey at the end of the tryouts or may return it after the last tryout. Players returning the jerseys will receive the $20 refund on-the-spot. To register please see the green registration link below tryout schedule. Good luck to all.
