The Wranglers have partnered with Cory Hunt and his company, Omega Hockey Services, to operate their Spring/Fall Tier 1 teams to be based out of Hudson, Wisconsin. Cory previously coached and operated the Chippewa Steel spring/fall Tier 1 program. The program was a consistent powerhouse in the NAPHL who developed and advanced multiple players to the junior level. We look forward to continuing that success with the Wranglers!
Our program offers a spring program which introduces players to our program, system concepts, and identifying team & individual areas to focus on as we head into our fall training camp and season. We offer a strong fall schedule which competes in tournaments against high-end full season Tier 1 AAA teams. Teams will have both team practices and skills sessions led by experienced coaches. We teach and develop players with concepts, systems, skills and habits used at junior, college & pro levels.
