The Walpole Express offers eight all-girls teams including the U16/19 level, U14 level, U12 level, U10 level and 3v3 teams. The season runs roughly from early September through mid March. There are two practices per week (Wednesday & Saturday night's), one weekly skills session (Tuesday night's) with RB Hockey School, and one game per weekend. Games are home/away in the Middlesex Yankee Conference Girls League. Home games are on Sunday afternoons, away games are on Saturdays or Sundays. We have a 25 game season and will end the season with a playdown playoff format. All practices, skills and home games take place at the Iorio Arena in Walpole, MA. The Express also host, and take part in, the Annual Thanksgiving Girls Tournament at the Iorio Arena. This is included in the tuition.

The six girls teams will be playing out of the exceptionally well organized Middlesex Yankee Conference. The league is offering four divisions for the 2011/12 season including U10, U12, U14, and a half season for U19. The league consists of approximately 107 teams, broken down into four divisions (based on age and ability). Our program has entered one team in the U10 division, one team in the U12 division, two teams into the U14 division and two teams into the U19 division. The league has parity rounds and make games as competitive as possible.

Formed in 2005, the Walpole Express' (formerly the Lady Jr Rebels) goal is to provide an opportunity for girls from Walpole and surrounding towns to learn and excel at the game of hockey in a positive, fun and competitive environment which stresses team work and sportsmanship. The Express are about teaching girls why we play the game! It comes from within. It’s not about getting the most goals or being the all star. It’s a deep passion to learn that comes from the heart. It’s about working as a team to reach a common goal and having respect that allows us to bring out the best in each other. We promote player development for ALL players. Each coach plays all players equal and gives them ALL confidence and knowledge in each game. There is no power play or penalty killing units. In order to develop players must be put in every situation of a game.
