TEAM WISCONSIN PARTNERSHIP
What is the partnership between WEHL and TW?
WEHL and TW support player development between programs. *Skaters who were finalists within the TW tryout process or selected as alternates on TW, are given an automatic roster spot on their Regional WEHL Team. (*Goalies have a different policy - please reach out to your Regional GM)
TW players are welcome to attend WEHL practices in their Region.
Boys WEHL, under the Team Wisconsin umbrella: Wisconsin Hockey Club Boys, will field two teams for the upcoming season: 14U and 16U. These teams will compete in two premier out-of-state events, including a weekend in the Minnesota Prospects League and another in Chicago at the CCM World Invite.
Participation in WHC begins with a strong commitment to the WEHL. All players must be active WEHL participants and are required to try out for the Wisconsin Hockey Club formerly WEHL All-Star teams on August 9th. Selection to a WHC roster will come from this process. Any named alternates for TW 14U and 16U teams are automatically part of the WHC roster. All TW main camp invitees WHC tryout fee will be covered by TW and player won’t have additional tryout expense.
Players who earn a spot on a Wisconsin Hockey Club team will also gain access to additional development opportunities, including eligibility to participate in Team Wisconsin Regional Practices, further strengthening their growth and exposure within the TW program.
