The main goal of Young Legends Street Hockey has always been to promote fun in a competitive atmosphere and as each season has passed a higher emphasis on player development with the introductions of skill sessions and the mini camp. Over the years the league has grown to 8 teams with over 100+ players and a coaching staff of dedicated high school and college student-athletes. Other league developments such such as a website and game in play have also been introduced.
