MIDGETS

2025-2026 SABRE HOCKEY ASSOCIATION MIDGET HOCKEY PROGRAM

The Sabre Midget program continues to offer the highest level of Tier 2 hockey in the country, providing players the environment and leadership they need. The Midget staff, led by Chris Chelios, is dedicated to giving players an exit strategy to move on to the next level, whether that be AAA hockey, or finding the right post-youth hockey path for a well-balanced student athlete. The 2025-2026 season will showcase 3 Midget teams in the Central States Developmental Hockey League (CSDHL). 18U, 16U, 16U Prospects. 

We are very excited to announce that our 15U team will be joining the Atlantic Hockey Federation (AHF), the fastest growing Tier 2 league in the country, as a full-time league member.

*All Coaches subject to change. 

*Non-Refundable Tryout fee of $300 is included in above pricing. 

**Additional team slush funds will be required for Tournament Fees and Travel Budgets.

Following tryouts, registrants will receive an email to confirm their players roster spot and complete registration based on the team their player was placed on. The program cost can be paid in full or a payment plan of 7 months can be set up at that time. Payments will be automatically deducted on 8/25, 9/25, 10/25, 11/25, 12/25, 1/25 & 2/25. 

All Sabre Midget players are required to complete baseline testing with our club trainer, Pro Sports and Rehab. Pro Sports and Rehab supplies a team trainer for all home games and must have a baseline test on each player as a proper reference point. The test is provided for FREE, and you can be in and out within 15 minutes. Please schedule an appointment ASAP.
