WHY CAR/RICK MSHC ?

Have a friend or sibling a couple years older or younger? You can now play together on a middle school club.  Those in school grades 6th-8th* are eligible to play for the CAR/RICK Raptors. 

​*5th graders who are 1st yr 12U may be considered upon Hockey Director Approval.

CAR/RICK Raptor compete against a good variety of competition.  Your player will get to play against older players which gives them some hockey experiences they CANNOT achieve normally.

Playing with Older players, possibly 3 years older, kids will learn INVALUABLE lessons, in a safe environment, on how  to handle themselves on and off the ice. Catching harder passes, skating faster, and not to be intimidated by size....the list goes on. 

What could my older player possibly learn from a kid 2 or 3 years younger?  A LOT !! Older players develop leadership traits. They can also gain inspiration from observing younger player's fearless play and maximal effort. This is contagious, especially to the older kids!

We all know kids that live near us that play in different clubs.... Loudon, Hagerstown, Frederick, Reisterstown, Howard, Montgomery etc. etc. Now you can play and begin building chemistry with those same kids you will attend High School with. 

CAR/RICK MSHC is Fun, Competitive, Supportive and Developmental all at the same time.  We aren't a company. We aren't for profit. We aren't playing only for wins.  We aren't playing for status.

We are playing for each other and to become better Players and Young People !
