Toledo Ice Crew 10U/12U Hockey
New for the 2025-26 Season
Welcome to the 2025-26 hockey season! We are doing something a little different with the Toledo Ice Crew hockey program this year. In addition to having our usual Learn 2 Play Hockey programs... We are forming two rec level hockey teams. One at the 10 & under (2015-16 birth years) level and one at the 12 & under (2013-14 birth years) level.
The 10U & 12U Ice Crew teams season will run October thru March. Teams will start practicing in October at Tam-O and transition over to Ottawa Park as their home rink in December. The two teams will take part in some games against the Buckeye Broadband Rec Hockey League teams based out of Tam-O in the 2025-26 season. These two teams will practice together on shared ice for the season. Games will be played full-ice against other age-appropriate teams.
Requirements for eligibility on the 10U & 12U Ice Crew teams include...
- Must reside at a city of Toledo address and/or be enrolled in Toledo Public Schools
- Must have prior skating/hockey experience (i.e. Toledo Ice Crew, Little Walleye, Learn to Play Hockey, etc.)
- Born between the years of 2013-16
These teams will be free for participants who meet the requirements. Deadline to register for these two teams is no later than Friday, September 19th. (ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THE LEARN 2 PLAY PORTION OF THE ICE CREW WILL OPEN IN OCT).
Toledo Ice Crew Mission
Our Vision
The Toledo Ice Crew hockey program gives boys and girls ages 5 to 14 the opportunity to learn how to ice skate and play hockey. The program provides all equipment the players may need to participate in the program.
There is no fee to participate in the Toledo Ice Crew program, which was developed specifically for families who cannot afford the cost of the sport, but who want to give their child a chance to learn to skate and play hockey.
Program Goal
Create a healthy, sustainable and equitable ice hockey community.
Who We Are
The Toledo Ice Crew is a partnership amongst the City of Toledo, Toledo Public Schools, Toledo Police Hockey Team, Toledo Fire Department Hockey Team, Toledo Walleye Hockey Club (ECHL), Sylvania Tam-O-Shanter, and Sylvania Youth Hockey.
Ottawa Park Ice Arena is an outdoor ice arena owned by the City of Toledo and managed by Tam-O-Shanter. Ottawa Park is located near city central and is the primary facility for the Toledo Ice Crew.
The Initiative
Increase opportunity and participation by providing access to ice facilities, equipment, skating and hockey programs to girls and boys in underserved (people of color and females in particular) communities. The Toledo Ice Crew is not merely about athletics. It is an opportunity to provide at-risk youth with a chance to learn the great sport of ice hockey, develop lasting friendships, receive on-ice and off-ice instruction with regard to what it takes to be successful in ice hockey and daily life. On-ice instruction provided by USA Hockey trained coaches in a fun, relaxed, safe, and organized environment. The weekly lesson plans follow the USA Hockey American Development Model (ADM).
