The Wonderland Wizards anticipate having a full hockey season beginning Tuesday, September 8th and ending with the state tournaments in February or March of 2021. If the State of Connecticut prohibits the continuation of youth sports, such as ice hockey, in the middle of the season due to Covid-19 mandates or policies, we will first assess the possibility of pausing and extending the season. We would like to remind our Wizards families that The Wonderland Wizards Youth Hockey Association is a non-profit organization. We will address the need to issue credits and refunds to our members at the end of the hockey season.
Our coaches are an integral key to developing our players.
We strive to make our program a great experience for our skaters and our volunteers.
