Description:
We want to expand our organization and replace a partner who is leaving.
We have a team in the Minnesota Junior Hockey League and we have 28 players under contract who pay to play. We have a limited sponsor base in the small town of Wooster and want to expand to outlying areas. We expect to start turning a profit in the near future. We provide housing for the our of town players with billet families in the areal. The high school aged players are enrolled in the local high school.
We sell our team items to raise funds. We produce a program with sponsor advertising included. Ticket sales are limited to the size of our arena, but we usually sell out all our games 500 seating capacity.
At this time we pay the coaching staff and that is it.
We concentrate on moving our players to the next level of Junior Hockey, NCAA Division III Schools or ACHA Division 1 Schools. Or prepare them for life and assist in finding those not wanting to go to college to find good jobs after hockey their hockey career is completed.
