Our Mission

To foster a lifelong love of hockey by providing a fun, safe, and inclusive environment where youth can develop their skills, confidence, and character—on and off the ice.

What This Means:

• Lifelong passion: We’re building a love for the game that lasts a lifetime—not just a season.
• Fun, safe, inclusive: Every child and family should feel welcome and supported in our programs.
• Skills, confidence, character: Hockey is the vehicle—we’re here to help young people grow in every way.
• On and off the ice: What they learn here should serve them well in school, in life, and in the community.

Our Vision

To be a leading minor hockey organization known for developing great players, even better people, and championing a positive, inclusive hockey culture that strengthens our community.

What This Means:

• Great players, better people: We want our athletes to excel in hockey—and in life.
• Culture matters: Positivity, respect, and belonging are at the heart of everything we do.
• Community impact: We’re proud to be a strong, unifying presence in Dartmouth and the surrounding area.

Why This Matters:

These statements reflect who we are and where we’re going. They will guide:

• How we coach and support our players
• The programs and initiatives we prioritize
• How we build a culture of respect and belonging at every level
