The Jr Kraken offers competitive team play for 10U, 12U & 14U age groups.
Teams are selected through a tryout process conducted by the Jr Kraken coaching staff. Tryouts for 10U teams are held in early August in a closed tryout, meaning you must register for the season in order to be eligible for tryouts. Tryout registration will be included in the 10U season registration. 12U and 14U teams will hold 'open tryouts' in late April/early May. Head coaches are qualified and experienced Jr Kraken staff with years of on-ice experience. Our teams play in the PNAHA League and compete at the PNAHA State Festivals at the end of the season in March.

Volunteer Coaches
Youth hockey couldn’t happen without the parents and community volunteers that help with all facets of the game. We have opportunities for volunteer coaches, team managers, score keepers, clock managers and penalty box managers. It's a great way to help out and build friendships and community that will last a lifetime.
Learn more about the volunteer commitments, benefits and training by completing the questionnaire or visiting our Volunteers page.
