Skates will take place once a week through July, then occur twice a week in August leading up to tryouts.

Summer sessions will include off-ice conditioning (more details to come on exact timing before or after on-ice sessions).  

Participation in the skates is optional, but strongly encouraged given the other teams in our league are involved in similar programs.  Summer skates are open to any player residing in one of the Storm school districts entering grades 7-12 in the Fall of 2019.

The GCHSCHL is now the OSHL!

Over the summer of 2017 our league has undergone a name change.  The Greater Columbus High School Club Hockey League is now called the Ohio Scholastic Hockey League.  The change was made for various reasons, including wanting the ability to recognize the continued importance of education as well as recognizing the fact that we have teams in the league outside of the Columbus area.

The 2017-2018 Parking Pass for the Fairgrounds is available in the "Forms and Links" section of the website.
