Players with birth years 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009 if going into 8th Grade. Players will play for their respected town or region. This is a non-checking league.  Players from towns that do not have a team can still sign up and be placed either at-large or player pool for teams that need players. We will be having an evaluation skate for all at-large registration players to balance out the teams.  Any person interested in coaching a team please contact Mike Cordeiro at rijdl@hotmail.com or call 401-524-0797.
