MISSION STATEMENT

The Boston Shamrocks Organization is dedicated and determined to provide the ultimate experience. Our goal is to create a competitive environment for our student-athletes in order for each of them to reach their maximum potential. We stress the importance of physical health and strength, but we also work to become mentally and emotionally stronger. Our program is challenging, but the rewards are worth the effort. We recognize that our regiment is demanding and disciplined, but fun is vital in carrying out a successful season. The Boston Shamrocks compete against the best competition, which will ultimately prepare our players for the level of play that they will face in college. Off the ice, we maintain our discipline while having the opportunity to gain independence. Our Organization is based upon creating a sense of family, learning and exercising living habits, respect, communication, dedication, and loyalty. We are looking for student-athletes who can combine these components with their natural ability and work ethic. The Boston Shamrocks will assist you in making your dreams a reality.


TAKE YOUR GAME TO THE NEXT LEVEL
Are you tired of the same old thing with your youth or high school team? Are you looking to take your game to a new level? Do you hope to play college hockey one day? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the Boston Shamrocks is the team for you!

The Boston Shamrocks Elite Women's Hockey Club was formed to provide young women advanced development on a full season team, against the highest levels of competition in North America.

The Boston Shamrocks, a USA Hockey registered U19 team, will compete in the Eastern Division of the Junior Women's Hockey League, against the North American Hockey Academy, National Sports Academy, and Washington Pride, as well as select games against the JWHL’s Western Division teams including the Warner Hockey School, Pacific Steelers, and Balmoral Hall.

The JWHL (jwhl.org) holds several of their league games on college campuses, including the opening weekend at the University of Minnesota, a tourney at Boston area colleges during Thanksgiving, and the league playoffs at the University of North Dakota. The end of season Challenge Cup, against top teams from the United States and Canada, is hosted by the NHL’s Washington Capitals in the nation’s capital.

Additionally the Boston Shamrocks will play in the top tournaments in the United States and Canada, including Chowder Cup, NAHA Labor Day, Stoney Creek, Polar Bears and Northwood, guaranteeing outstanding competition and maximum exposure to college coaches.


ACCELERATE YOUR DEVELOPMENT

Each year the vast majority of Division 1 players come from full season programs. This is a result of not just a full season of games, but a season of multiple weekly practices and off-ice training and conditioning. Playing for 10 weeks in the fall and spring, with a practice on Sunday just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Our goal is to develop elite level college hockey players. To achieve this goal the Boston Shamrocks will have a consistent schedule of three 90 minute practices per week, with four on weeks when there are no games that weekend. Practices will include weekly skating instruction by renowned skating coach Paul Vincent. Classroom and video sessions will also be utilized to ensure a thorough understanding of positional and team tactics and development of the “complete player.”

However, advanced development requires more than ice time. In addition to off-ice training, the team will have one hour strength and conditioning sessions with Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning after practices, twice a week.

All home games and practices will be held at Ristuccia Arena, the NHL Boston Bruins’ Practice and Training facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts. The Shamrocks will have a dedicated locker room, with individual stalls for each player!

The Boston Shamrocks will provide home and away jerseys, socks, and helmets, as well as gloves, shells, bags, warm-up suits and a selection of team attire. Transportation to away games will be via team bus! Lodging and two meals on away trips are also provided by the team.


ACADEMIC SUCCESS

As a member of the Boston Shamrocks we look at your development not just as an athlete, but as a student-athlete. You can be the most talented player in the world, but if your grades aren’t where they need to be, or your NCAA mandated core requirements haven’t been met,you will end up sitting in the stands watching your friends play college hockey. We will prepare you to excell not just on the ice, but in the classroom as well.

All team members will have available to them weekly tutoring sessions, as well as 10 weeks of SAT preparation with a test specialist during the fall. Bi-weekly progress reports from your educational institution will ensure academic standards are met. Fall behind and you will not play until you catch up!

There are four educational options available: Local players may remain at their current school and commute to practice; players may live in the team’s residence hall and follow their current school’s curriculum online; players may live in the team’s residence hall and follow the Kaplan College Preparatory School curriculum online; or players may live at the team’s residence hall and attend Presentation of Mary Academy, an all-girls college prep school located in nearby Methuen, Mass.
