Program Overview
Totino-Grace boys hockey fields a Varsity and Junior Varsity team, which compete in the Northwest Suburban Conference. The teams in the conference include, Elk River, Blaine, Centennial, Andover, Champlin Park, Anoka, Oseeo, Armstrong/Cooper, Irondale, Spring Lake Park and Coon Rapids. Both teams play a 25 game schedule, plus additional scrimmages. Tryouts are in mid-November, are free of cost, and open to any hockey player at TG. Typically, 45-60 players participate in the tryout. Players are chosen for our teams on the basis of hockey ability and attitude and must also be academically eligible. We stress the importance of academics for our hockey players and are very proud of the fact that we have won the Section Academic Award for the highest team G.P.A. seven times with a team average of over 3.4 each year.
To further athlete and program development, each summer our Totino-Grace boys hockey STP program runs from the beginning of June through the end of July. Our focus on skill development as well as team concepts helps our athletes learn about and work on their game, while getting to know the coaching staff.
The team practices at the Brooklyn Park Community Center.
