Orange Lutheran Hockey is currently in its 8th season. The program launched in the 2010-2011 season with one JV team comprised of 12 skaters. Now, OLu Hockey hosts a Varsity D1 and JV team. While both teams play in the Anaheim Ducks High School Hockey League (ADHSHL), the Varsity team also plays a competitive schedule filled with 18AA and 16AAA teams. Varsity also travels multiple times a year to play in elite tournaments and make college visits to schools like Denver University, Colorado College, University of Colorado Boulder, and Notre Dame. Varsity skates three times a week at KHS 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 meets together for weekly Bible studies and leadership sessions.
OLu Hockey Program goals:
1) Have fun playing high school hockey
2) Improve individual and team skills
3) Grow as leaders in Jesus Christ
