Orange Lutheran Hockey is currently in its 11th season. The program launched in the 2010-2011 season with one JV team comprised of 12 skaters. Now, OLu Hockey hosts a Varsity D1, Varsity D3, as well as a JV team. While all three teams play in the Anaheim Ducks High School Hockey League (ADHSHL), the Varsity D1 team also plays a competitive game that matches the style of a 18AA/AAA team. Varsity also travels multiple times a year to play in elite tournaments and make college visits to schools with great hockey experience. Varsity skates two times a week at Anaheim Ice Arena, dresses in a newly renovated team locker room, does off ice training in Orange Lutheran's state of the art weight room, and most importantly tries to help students athletes internalize the gospel message of salvation in Christ Jesus.
OLu Hockey Program goals:
1) Have fun playing high school hockey
2) Improve individual and team skills
3) Grow as leaders in Jesus Christ
