Welcome to Spring Hockey Registration with the Highland Park Giants

Highland Park Giants Family,

The Giants anticipate participating in the North Shore Spring Hockey League and one spring tournament in 2020. We are looking for new and returning players at the High School Varsity and Junior Varsity levels.

Please note that while every hockey playing student (or prospective student) at HPHS is welcome to participate in our Spring program, if your 9th, 10th or 11th grade son played at the AAA level this past season they will only be included on a game roster if there is room. 

The NSSHL will offer a regular season of about eight games between April 5th and May 23rd.

A tournament will be held in late April or May in the Chicago area.

Details on the registration process, season structure, cost/payment and important dates are below. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions about any of these items.

Sincerely,

Chris Mobily
