Comp - Blue Devils
The Alaska Blue Devils program provides a highly competitive full season that develops some of Alaska's best teams in divisions 10U to 16U in the Tier I & II levels for both boys and girls. Competition teams are comprised of players and coaches who have advanced skills, and who wish to contribute the time, energy and money necessary to participate in competition play.
Many teams travel in-state and out-of-state to get greater exposure and to develop players. The coaching staff is paid and a goalie coach is on retainer. Our goal is to motivate each and every player to want to learn, work hard, and be the best they can be both on the ice and in life. The Blue Devils participate in yearly fundraising events to cover costs, as well as sponsorships, in an attempt to offset some of the season's costs.
