2025-26 Player Costs & Schedules
We heard you loud and clear on our end of season survey and we're excited to announce some big improvements for the 2025-26 season!
The Number #1 suggestion/comment we got from both players and parents during exit interviews and the end of season survey was the lack of tournaments and team bonding experiences. The Number #2 suggestion/comment we got was more access to ice time/video review.We are addressing BOTH of those suggestions in a major way!
#1 Team Bonding & Tournaments
Both teams, Tier 1 Varsity & Tier 2 JV, will be participating in two (2) team travel tournaments and one (1) self travel tournament. Team travel tournaments account for everything except for flights, meaning all meals and hotels are covered and organized by the team as players will be with their teammates for the entirety of the trip. The self travel tournament will be an in-state tournament that families are able to manage their individual accommodations.
#2 Ice Time
The specific request for more ice time was made primarily from players and families on our Tier 2 JV team, as they only received two (2) on-ice practices a week regularly. We're excited to say, with our new contract with the Ice Haus, we're able to offer three (3) regular practices every week for both our Tier 2 JV team and Tier 1 Varsity team. Along with the additional practice ice, we're implementing Hudl Instat for all of our players. Instat is used by every NHL & AHL team, and over 80% of NCAA ice hockey teams. It is professional video analysis that every player will have access to for practices and games. Check out more on Instat here, https://www.hudl.com/solutions/club/ice-hockey.

Costs
With the additions of team experiences, extra ice time, Hudl Instat & other improvements our per season costs will rise from our previous year. Increases are never taken lightly, however, we ultimately exist to serve our players and their families which we believe we have accurately done with all of our program additions. Tier 1 Varsity & Tier 2 JV costs will be the same for both CPHL and CHSAA seasons as both teams will receive equal accommodations.
Per Player CPHL Cost: $2,750
Per Player CHSAA Cost: $2,750
Total Combined Player Cost: $5,500
As mentioned previously, these costs include all tournaments and team bonding events, as well as over $1,000/per player gear package.
We are committed to delivering the highest quality high school hockey program in the country. We believe the additions we've made for the upcoming season help us get closer to that goal. Thank you for your interest in RCS Hockey and we're excited to see everyone at the rink come August 2nd!
