Valley City Vipers

Players age 3+ in Valley City begin their hockey journey as VC Vipers, playing at the Termite, Mite & Squirt levels. All teams practice at the Youth Sports Complex indoor rink at 940 Central Ave N (next to Hanna Field & Jefferson Elementary School). All VC Viper Hockey teams are open to Boys and Girls. Please see the Vally City Hockey Handbook for full details on our program, including fundraising and volunteer requirements.

Ice is typically in for camps, team tryouts and Try Hockey events in mid-October. The hockey season runs November - March, and we work to offer additional ice time after the season as the weather allows. Practice & game schedules will be available in the Crossbar mobile app (for registered players) and on our website when set for the season. Additional details on each level are available below.

USA Hockey registration is required annually for all players. If you have not already done so, you will be prompted to register & provide your player's USAH Confirmation number during registration. View 2024-25 USA Hockey Fees ($15 ND Affiliate Fee added for ages 7+)
