The past season has been another tremendous success for the “AVS”. The AVS Elite teams are continuing their success in the Elite 9 League, one of the top Tier 1 Leagues in the Country! The Avalanche continue to be among the state leaders in sending teams to Tier 1 and Tier 2 Regional and National Tournaments. Our premier teams are also having strong campaigns competing in the Boston Hockey League with players both being promoted in season and graduating to our Elite teams the following season. The Avalanche is one of the only programs that provides a player the opportunity to join as a mite and depart as an NCAA college athlete. If you are serious about giving your child the opportunity to be the best they can be, then the Avs are the place to play.
Take a moment to see what the Avalanche have to offer for the coming season and read through some FAQs.
