LJAC Team’s practice times/days, on/off ice sessions & schedules could have changes, additions, etc. during the season. We are doing our best to solidify a set schedule throughout the entire season for all 4 teams. We will also be incorporating several skating and skills instructions along with mental performance and nutrition sessions throughout the season that will fall into your regular practice days. That information will sent out separately once teams are formed.
We are excited and looking forward to the 2025/2026 LJAC Oil Kings Hockey Season!
