The Lockport Express Junior A hockey team will have its own farm system come the 2015-2016 season.
The team has been approved by the NAPHL to have a 16UAAA and 18UAAA team. The NAPHL is part of the NAHL system of teams. The Express Junior A team played in the NA3EHL league this season, also part of the NAHL system.
"These teams will serve as development/feeder teams for the junior team," according to Frank Vecchio, head coach and GM of the Junior A team. "However, more importantly, as all of our leagues are under the same umbrella of the NAHL, it gives players aspiring to play at a higher level a clearly defined path to do so."
The 16UAAA and 18UAAA teams will be made up of teens 16-and-under and 18-and-under, respectively. Team tryouts will be held March 31 and April 1. The teams are expected to play their home games at Cornerstone CFCU Arena.
Any interested players are asked to contact Vecchio via email at fvecchioexpress@gmail.com.
