*MWF is interested in gathering data on players interested in a  U15C/U18C program. If your player is interested in continuing to play hockey at a reduced commitment level or starting to play hockey, and engaging in development and game opportunities, please reach out to Jennifer Clarkson, VP Recreation Hockey at rechockey@metrowestforce.com. There are no guarantees that we will be able to host a U15C/U18C program for the 2025/2026 season but it will be explored if there is enough interest.

If your player is considering Competitive (Rep) Hockey (U11 A/AA, U13 A/AA/AAA, U15 A/AA/AAA, U18 A/AA) please be sure to review our Rec vs Rep document found XXXX to ensure this is the right fit for you and your family.
