NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!
The Vermont Shamrocks bring together some of the most competitive hockey players from all across Vermont and neighboring states. The goal is to provide a high level of hockey while promoting participation at the local level. The emphasis is on skill development and teamwork by fostering a spirit of cooperation and unity, as well as individual self-growth. We create a fun environment which focuses on important values such as sportsmanship, friendship, and love of the game. The lesson at the end of the day is that succeeding is really more about how they play the game – win or lose.

| 'Rocks to Field Senior Womens Team 
| | Go Rocks Go | As of now playing hockey is an approved activity given Vermont's Department of Health COVID 19 guidelines.
For the first time, ever the Shamrocks are looking to offer a formal USA Hockey Registered Adult Women's Senior Team. This team will be able to play in sanctioned games against other women's' teams and could possibly enter tournaments or other events. The team will abide by ALL USA Hockey and VT COVID-19 regulations.
Because of these same COVID related travel restrictions, there could be a number of high school and college-aged girls/women looking to play competitive hockey who are unable to leave Vermont to do so.
While players DO NOT have to be former Shamrocks, this team will seek to leverage the Shamrock Alumnae network and provide some fun events for VT Women who (still) love to play hockey. The team will also play a large role in helping to support other girls and women as they try and make the best of what will be a unique fall and winter.
The primary goal of the organization of the team (or teams if there is significant interest) is to help lend a structure (website, collecting money to pay for ice tie, refs, & help setting up games, etc) for adult women to play organized hockey in a fun environment. This team will be supported by the Shamrocks organization, but ultimately it will be "player run."
It is expected that our Shamrock 19U, 16U teams and even some VT college teams will be interested in playing in-state games/scrimmages this fall/winter. The (to be determined) fee for this team will include a reversible Shamrock jersey, socks, USAH fees/insurance, and ice time, refs, or tournament/jamboree fees.
This is a Womens Senior team as described in the USA Hockey Guide. This is for experienced players and while there is no specific age limit for this team players should be over 19 or enrolled in college.
