Q&A
Does the team have fees to play?
Yes. We have a team administration fee and a player billet fee that are both reasonable. The administration fee helps cover many aspects of our organization. Some examples it goes towards are: SIJHL team fees, marketing of players, and team costs such as road trips and ice-time. Our team fees are the lowest across North America aside from the western league teams who have major sponsorships for Tier 2 Junior A hockey.
Do many players advance from the program to schools, or the CHL?
We have a high success rate of helping players reach their goals of becoming student-athletes or playing in the CHL. In the last five seasons we have helped twenty-eight players move on to pursue these goals. The Lakers organization has helped place over 110 players in higher levels to continue as student-athletes or reach their playing goals.
Do you have off-ice training?
Yes. We work with Synapse Coaching to give our players the best opportunity to further their development in the game by experts in this field.
