League Description:
The Chicago River Dogs Hockey Organization is a program dedicated to providing a fun and educational experience for the children residing in the Chicago-land area who wish to play ice hockey. Our programs are planned, promoted and administered by unpaid volunteers. Our curriculum stresses basic skills, encourages team play and sportsmanship, and strives for fair playing time for all players. The individuals who teach this curriculum, in all cases, have completed one or more courses in the Coaching Education Program (CEP). The River Dogs Organization’s coaches and Directors, through such things as our Code of Conduct, also are committed to teaching players to respect their opponents and the officials.
