NW WARRIORS

Northwest Warriors exists to provide a hockey program for the residents of the communities we serve where participants develop a strong sense of community while growing socially, physically, intellectually, ethically, and emotionally.

This mission is achieved by working towards individual and team successes in a safe, fair, stimulating, and respectful environment while observing a suitable balance of the following priorities.

  • The Participant – Provide individuals with coaching and experiences that allow them to develop personally.
  • The Team – Foster commitment to a group through opportunities for working and achieving together.
  • The Game of Hockey – Teach and develop the abilities necessary to participate and succeed in playing hockey.
