      DTBL a Finalist in White House Competition

       

      Defending The Blue Line was 1 of 20 national finalists in a White House competition to recognize a non profit that supports military families. The White House is leaving it up to America to vote for the winner over the next 30 days, so please log on and vote and ask your friends to do the same.

      Here is the link to submit your vote http://joiningforces.challenge.gov/submissions/search?sort=alpha. The voting ends the end of the month and you can vote daily.

      Defending The Blue Line was founded in the spring of 2009 by 2 currently serving National Guard soldiers from Minnesota.  To date they have provided over $500,000 in benefits to military families across the US.  They provide free hockey equipment, grants to help with association fees, free summer hockey camps, and NHL game tickets.  Their ultimate goal is to expand into other sports and be the one-stop-shop to keep military kids active in sports while their parents are serving! -There is no one else doing what they are doing.

      For all players who get cut from the high school team and are considering playing junior gold!!! 
      1. Junior gold hockey is the most fun hockey I have ever played 
      2. It is not the cheap league that it is sometimes stereotyped to be, but instead has been turned into a league where in my opinion is cleaner than a JV hockey game i played in the year befor 
      3. It keeps you involved in the game that we all love and you can continue to play in competitive hockey games all year round 

      So I am urging anyone who is deciding whether or not to tryout for junior gold to give it a shot you will not regret it!!!

      Some of these Junior Gold A teams would destroy some varsity teams. I think it's a great league.

      I'm not sure I would say destroy, but many of the top teams could compete at a middle of the road varsity schedule, or an average class A schedule. Definitely a good option if a player doesnt make or doesnt want to play for their high school team. Sometimes it can be a bit rough but I wouldn't classify it as a goon league by any means. For those who love hockey, I highly recommend it.

      Junior Gold Hockey - What is it?

      Quick Links

      XL Hockey League

      The league is similar in nature to a recreation hockey league and was created to offer players an organized, fun, non-threatening, no-check hockey game once every week.

      Substitute Goalie Request/Approval Form

      In the event a rostered goalie(s) is not able to participate in a scrimmage, league, invitational tournament or District Tournament game, a substitute goalie may play in place of the rostered goalie provided all requirements are met and the substitute goal request/approval form has been completed.
