Our Mission

The mission of Yuro Stars AAA Hockey is long-term player development. As such, we do not chase after short-term success, if it sacrifices long-term, organic player development. We do not want our players to peak when they're only squirts. Rather, we seek to help our players develop at an effective pace in order to achieve their highest level of performance when invitations to combines and junior camps begin in earnest. Proper hockey development is a marathon, not a sprint, and Yuro Stars AAA Hockey is dedicated to developing each player to his or her maximum. Players may receive up to 55 hours of training from March through August, each season, with options to add 70 more hours of training in our skill development camps.

2025 Season

Our 2025 season featured teams at these birth years: 2010, 2011 (2 teams), 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016/17. Following our mission, our oldest teams, many players of which have been a part of our program for multiple years, found the success that follows proper development. But even over the course of just one season, vast improvements can be made, as exhibited by our 2016/17 and 2014 teams!
