Let's fill the Stratford Irish with local hockey talent!

Who you got that is ready to make the leap to local, semi-pro championship hockey?

☘️🍀LET"S GO IRISH☘️🍀

The 2026-27 season officially starts June 1st… and FREE AGENCY is upon us. ☘️

We are beyond excited and humbled by the amount of inquiries we’ve already received from players looking to become a part of the Irish family. Our mission remains the same, to build and win another to Championship🏆

Wearing the Irish sweater means more than just playing hockey. It means representing a proud community, carrying yourself with professionalism, accountability, and passion both on and off the ice. Our organization takes tremendous pride in providing a first-class experience for our players, from the culture in the room to the way we represent our city and supporters every single day.

If you’re looking for a competitive, professional, community-driven program where culture matters and winning is the expectation, we want to hear from you.

DM us today for more information about our program and how you can become a part of the Irish legacy. ☘️
