CT UNITED
SPRING HOCKEY!
CT United is excited to return to Terry Conners Ice Rink in Stamford, CT, for the 2026 season.
Players and coaches alike are delighted to be back on the ice together, enjoying team development and the thrill of competing together. Spring has always been an integral part of the travel hockey puzzle, allowing players to focus on individual skill development as well as a great time to simply enjoy playing hockey with new and old friends alike.
CT United offers a great program explicitly focused on skill development and the love of the game in a convenient twice-weekly format allowing your player to participate in traditional spring sports.
CT United offers structured, skills-based practices led by outstanding coaches to help your player maximize their development.
CT United is different than any other off-season hockey program because it is not affiliated with any winter program. At CT United, the focus is on the player, not the winter program. The season starts Monday, April 6th, for all divisions and runs through June 12th (For one week in TBD, there will be adjusted practice times due to tryouts at Terry Conners). Sign up today!
