What is the VHL?

The VHL (AKA Varsity Hockey League) is our version of recreational hockey for children ages 14 through 18. The skill level varies throughout the league with the ranges being from beginner through advanced. Many advanced level players concurrently participate with our local travel hockey club called the Riptide. All VHL games are conducted at the Channel Islands Ice Center. Teams are selected during try-outs by the team’s coach. It is the goal of the CIIC Hockey Staff to grow the sport of ice hockey through the development of FUN and informative leagues such as the VHL. Teams play an officiated game once per week during the season. Two seasons are offered every calendar year.
