We are looking forward to another incredible season!

Registration includes:

• 16-game season at NESC Middle School league (Nov-Mar)
• Eligibility for special events (Agganis Arena skates, team events, etc..)
• Option for 11 after-school practices at Chase Arena in Sept/Oct/Nov ($50 add-on)
• Swag (car magnets, custom pucks, and more!)

ALL Firehawks can also attend the DDP's monthly player development zoom sessions with Topher Scott and the Hockey Think Tank (Topher was a 2-time Cornell captain, and former D1 coach at Cornell, Miami-Ohio, and Michigan).

The Firehawks are a Natick-based middle school hockey team that is operated by a local hockey non-profit organization, the Dryland Development Project ("DDP").

All registration funds go towards programming. We aim to keep hockey fun and affordable for all involved.

The Firehawks emphasize sportsmanship, teamwork, and development. We want to see our players challenge themselves, make "mistakes", and push the boundary of what they are capable of. We do not hold tryouts, and we follow a Swedish model of letting our players "play up" and "play down" in games if doing so would benefit their development.

The Firehawks are designed to work in conjunction with each player's underlying town/club commitments. We offer a once weekly practice on Thursdays from Sept-Nov, and a 16-game season running from November to March each year. Games are typically on weekends or holidays.

Firehawk registration includes all member benefits of the DDP:

• Player development content and sessions provided by Topher Scott and the Hockey Think Tank
• Discounts to Natick Parks and Rec Summer Strength and Conditioning Program and Howie's Hockey Tape
• Eligibility for DDP special events, and more!

For players looking for additional practices and on-ice development in the summer, we recommend registering for the DDP's "Rooster" program.

Financial aid is available upon request. Please contact Scott, Luke, or Andrew directly to discuss financial aid needs.
