Our Teams

Winnsboro hockey is our house league team and the banner our players play under that do not participate in our elite program. 

East Texas Rink Rats is our elite program.  We have tryouts each November.  Our elite team competes in local, regional, and national tournaments.

RRiT stands for Rink Rats in Training. These players are working hard each week to improve their skill, with the hopes of making the elite team next year.

Men of Mayhem is the adult division of our program.  They play in local, regional, and national tournaments.

The mom’s of our players wanted to get involved in the excitement as well, so have formed the Mice of Mayhem.
