Program Overview
The Modified Hockey program serves as many players’ first introduction to St. Joe’s hockey and the broader school community. It is designed to help incoming student-athletes connect with future classmates, build relationships with coaches, and become familiar with the standards and expectations that define the program.
Throughout the season, players are integrated into the culture of St. Joe’s hockey — learning how practices operate, how teams prepare, and what it means to represent the St. Joe’s. The modified level provides a structured and supportive environment where players can adjust to the pace of school hockey while forming the relationships that will carry with them through their time in the program.
