Welcome! The Trailblazers offer women a chance to experience the great game
of ice hockey. We have a competitive senior C level team, which competes for
districts and ultimately nationals and a recreational senior team, which
competes in many C level tournaments. The senior C level team is a higher
commitment level (money and time) with tryouts typically in August. The
recreational senior team has a more conservative schedule and comes together in
September when the season begins.
OFFICIAL WELCOMERS/ Please contact us!: We want all gals to feel
welcome on the ice and in the locker room. Let us know you're coming and we'll
be sure to look for you and introduce you to everyone. Please email:? Jake
Jacobson- jake7@nc.rr.com.
We practice on Monday evenings from 9:30 - 11pm at the Reczone in Raleigh.
Please check the schedule page for your team practice time.
Boring Details: The Trailblazers is a non-profit, women's ice hockey
organization. We've been around for 10 years! Our Board of Directors handles all
the paperwork makes sure all the bills are paid, and generally tries to keep
things orderly run us. The current board members are listed under the contact
us. If you have ANY questions about the organization, please email a Board
member.
What to Bring/ Need Stuff?: Stick, water bottle, jersey, socks, and
hockey gear. We practice in full gear- skates, shin guards, pants, elbow pads,
shoulder pads, gloves, and helmet.
If you are new to this sport, you might not have everything. NO PROBLEM.
Contact Jake Jacobson (jake7@nc.rr.com).
She'll hook you up. Most of us have extra stuff and Jake will make sure we bring
it for you to use!
What to expect:? Most gals arrive to practice about 30 minutes early.
Some of us are slow dressers and some of us are big talkers- either way, we need
the time! The locker room assignments are listed on the glass door just outside
of the rink.
Cost: As much as we all love hockey, we regret we must charge for this
fun. The good news, though, is your very first practice is FREE! After that, we
gotta pay the bills…
