Vermont Shamrocks

The Vermont Shamrocks bring together some of the most competitive hockey players from all across Vermont and neighboring states.  The goal is to provide a high level of hockey while promoting participation at the local level.  The emphasis is on skill development and teamwork by fostering a spirit of cooperation and unity, as well as individual self-growth.   We create a fun environment that focuses on important values such as sportsmanship, friendship, and love of the game.  The lesson at the end of the day is that succeeding is really more about how they play the game – win or lose.

23-24 Split-Season Tryouts

 

Three-time USA Hockey National Champion Vermont Shamrocks are committed to having National Bound Tier II 16 & 19U split season teams.  Tryouts for 16U and 19U splits will take place at Cairns and Gutterson

Tryouts are:
May 7th at Cairns Arena 3:05-4:20pm (both 16U and 19U)
May 8th WATERBURY:  6:30-7:30pm (16U*) | 7:45-9:00pm (19U)

*Second year 14U players who will be playing HS varsity may tryout for 16U. 

All players must pre-register for tryouts. Any out-of-state players are welcome and there are limited roster spots for non-Vermont players. LINK TO REGISTER

 
For 23-24 the Shamrocks have left the Massachusetts based ESGHL and will return to playing as a Tier II Independent National Bound team. We have booked enough Fall ice in VT to hold a series of on-ice events including 6 home Sundays for planned doubleheader games vs. New England and NY teams.   
 
The Shamrocks FULLY SUPPORT Fall Varsity student-athletes and our schedule reflect our recognition that often the best hockey players in Vermont are also important members of their school's volleyball, field hockey, soccer and/or cross country running teams.
 
Being upfront and transparent has always been important to our non-profit all volunteer association. We can promise high-level hockey for student-athletes who also represent their communities and schools over the winter.  
 
This year's fall season will include one August weekend in Southern New England before fall sports begin. This weekend will include 3-4 games and a number of organized college visits. The "first half" of the fall season ends the weekend before Thanksgiving. We then regroup in March to host the New England championships at Cairns and will travel to the USA Hockey National Championships if qualified.
 
The Shamrocks - in partnership with High School teams - have placed more athletes in NCAA and ACHA programs than any other program in our region. The split-season program is perfect for players who want to get ready for their high school season as well as for players who aspire to play NCAA or ACHA hockey. Last winter 100% of our eligible seniors were selected as Rotary HS All-Star players and at least two of our players earned NCAA Division 3 commitments. 
 
Our fees are low as they reflect only the cost of our ice time, referees, jerseys, shells*, bags*, socks, league fees, insurance, and website fees divided by the number of players. Everyone pays including coaches kids, goalies, etc. If a family needs financial assistance money may be available.
 
*new players only
