In order to provide one of the best youth hockey products in the area, the Falcons have made significant investments in coaching, the goalie program and our professional hockey directors. The success of such investments is evident by the number of competitive teams the Falcons have fielded in the past couple of years and the local, regional and national success of such teams. The Falcons are keeping fees as economical as possible as set forth above so that we can continue to strike the appropriate balance for positive investments in the program yet continue our growth and success and to make continuous improvements to maximize the development of all players.
