Mass Admirals/Devils Hockey 2026–2027 Season: Helpful Information
Dear Mass Admirals/Devils Families,
As we approach the 2026–2027 hockey season, we want to extend our sincere thanks for your support and patience throughout our inaugural year as the Mass Admirals. The transition to the Admirals brand has been positive overall, and we appreciate your continued trust as we grow and refine the program.
With tryouts approaching, our new ownership has evaluated this past season and will be implementing several enhancements to better serve both players and families. Your loyalty and feedback are incredibly important to us. While we know we can’t meet every expectation, we are committed to continuous improvement.
We also recognize that this time of year can be stressful—deciding between programs, navigating multiple tryouts, and managing all the chatter on social media. Our goal is to simplify the process by earning your confidence that Mass Admirals/Devils Hockey is the right place for your player.
Our Focus: What Matters Most
At Mass Admirals/Devils Hockey, we prioritize player development, team camaraderie, and preparation for high school hockey. We emphasize skill-building, ice time, and training—while instilling core values such as discipline, commitment, and respect. We believe our program provides a complete hockey experience for players at every age and skill level.
Club vs. Town Level Hockey
We proudly offer both Club and Town level programs:
- Town Teams are ideal for players seeking a balanced hockey schedule with local competition and less travel.
- Club Teams are designed for players ready for a higher level of commitment, travel, and competition.
A common misconception is that our program is only “Town Hockey.” In reality, we offer a full developmental pathway from beginner to Premier-level Club teams.
Birth Year Teams
We will continue to expand our birth year team structure, adding 2016 and 2017 Premier Teams (pending numbers and skill level). Elite teams will be placed in appropriate leagues based on overall team skill.
Club Teams Overview
Our Club teams compete in the Premier Hockey League of New England (PHL), playing throughout New England.
- Premier Teams are generally led by experienced, non-parent coaches
- Seasons run from mid-August through March and include ~30 games.
- Teams receive two practices per week and a weekly skills session led by our own Top Speed Hockey.
- Elite Teams follow a similar structure and moving forward will be placed in leagues appropriate for their competitive level.
