The Glenview Stars are proud to offer a comprehensive Midget hockey program beginning in the Spring 2013 for players born in 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998. Register today.

Our program is based on the following outline:

1. Coaches/Staff:

Coaching Staff: John Harris, Rob Stevens, Ted Ward, Sylvain Turcotte. 

Others: Skills coaches, off-ice coaches, team selection advisor.

• Ultimate Athlete
• Nick Lavalle (Goalie Coach)

2. Mission Statement:

• To promote the personal character and athletic development of those players who wish to excel at the highest level of hockey competition USA Hockey has to offer.  
• To enhance player development by providing basic comprehensive advanced hockey education and physical training. 
• To provide those players an advanced hockey curriculum through top-level certified coaches that will keep those players constantly challenged.
• To assist and promote player advancement to the "next" level for each athlete.
• To seek opportunities for the student-athlete, and to aid those student-athletes in successfully gaining those opportunities.
• We will achieve these goals by hiring the finest, most qualified coaches and administrators for our program.
• We will emphasize skill development at all levels for both our athletes and our coaches. We will provide opportunities for our athletes through practices, individualized instruction and skill-enhancement and skill-specific clinics. Some of these opportunities will come outside the standard team hockey curriculum.
• We will accept nothing less than total sportsmanship and respect in relationships. We will enforce a code of conduct to uphold the highest levels of sportsmanship and respect.
• We will strive to clearly communicate our ideals, our goals, our schedules and any such information necessary for most successful possible results.
