Polar Bears Spring Hockey
The Frederick Polar Bears Spring hockey season provides co-ed players at all age classifications (8U-18U) the opportunity to advance their development through participation in two offseason tournaments alongside an eight practice schedule. The Spring season allows players the ability to maintain their competitive drive, skating mechanics, hockey IQ, and skill development in an environment that prepares them for the upcoming Fall regular season.
New for the 2025 Spring season, the Frederick Freeze 2025-2026 regular season tryout selections will serve as the basis for Polar Bears team rosters. Upon accepting a regular season roster offer, players will have the ability to note their interest and availability for the Spring season. Please note that Spring hockey is optional and comes at an additional cost. It is not required for participation in the 2025-2026 regular season.
