California has a population of 34,501,130, and Southern California has 22,422,614 people, which alone is more than any other single state.

California fans and amateur hockey programs support three NHL teams and three ECHL teams, so the hockey programs in the state are strong. Yet SoCal Sled Hockey is the only team serving this huge population center. Please partner with us in bringing this great sport to Southern California!

Sled hockey programs currently in California:

SoCal Sled Hockey's Junior Reign Sled Team (Riverside) and Junior Riptide Sled Team (Oxnard) (You're here on the SoCal Sled Hockey site. The link goes to their Facebook page)
