Saber cats ROAR!
Spring hockey in state college
Saber Cats
The Spring program will be used to provide exposure to players moving up an age group in the next year to the next level of competition. As such, teams will be based on the next Icers birth year age group alignment (current 2nd year players in any age group will move up to the next age group; last year 8U players will be eligible to participate at the 10U age group). Based on committed registration numbers, some players may be asked to remain in their current age group to maximize ice touches and how many kids can participate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there tryouts?
Saber Cats does not have tryouts. It is designed as additional hockey development opportunities for everyone we can support. It is for kids who want a little bit more hockey development after Icers season ends but prior to the start of summer.
How far away are tournaments?
Tournament distance depends on available location and what works for the players involved. Past events have included Hershey, PA as well as neighboring states like Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey. Events are selected by the Team manager and head coach working with the parents to identify skill appropriate events.
