Although the fees to play for our organization are significant, we believe that our members receive considerable value in return. It is important to recognize that the fees paid by our members are used primarily to purchase ice for our teams, and we believe that providing extensive ice time for our players - significantly more than other area teams - is one of the most important factors accounting for the successful development of our players. Hornet teams have two high-intensity practices most weeks, consisting of two eighty-minute full ice practice. Our teams typically play between fifty and seventy-five games. The fees also include participation in several elite Tier I tournaments per team.
