Travel Hockey Program
Program Overview
We are proud to be one of the state's most expansive girls' programs, with a broad offering of travel teams from highly competitive national bound to competitive development teams.
Our travel team program is our largest, with over 200 players, 10 teams (U8 – U19), and typically multiple competitive levels of play at each age bracket. Our scale, development focus, and multi-league participation (NEGHL, CHC, and CGHL) create a path for our players to continually advance to their next level of play.
Coaches work hard to match the commitment and intensity to the competitive level. Teams average two weekly practice sessions, league and non-league weekend games, and tournaments. Travel is State, Regional, or National and linked to league participation.
2024-2025 SEASON
Welcome to the Shoreline Sharks 2024-25 Girl's Hockey travel team tryouts. We greatly appreciate your interest in joining our organization.
When registering for tryouts you will be presented with three options.
1. 14U, 16U, 19U Tier II National Bound Tryouts
2. 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U, 16/19U Non-National Bound Tryouts (CGHL)
3. Attend Both tryouts
Tryouts for our national-bound and non-national-bound teams are separate. National-bound teams are focused on experienced players looking to play at the highest level of competition. These teams require significant on and off-ice commitment and are not for everyone. Our CGHL teams are very competitive but play more of a state-wide schedule.
2024-2025 Season - Wonderland Teams
The Shoreline Sharks all-girls youth hockey program is partnering with the Wonderland Wizards to provide all-girls team options for families who are interested in playing exclusively on an all-girls team or dual-rostering with an all-girls program. For the 2024-25 season, we anticipate two Sharks Connecticut Girls Hockey League (CGHL) teams being based at Wonderland, led by coaches Bill Garfield and Matt Sather.
For younger girls who have been playing on co-ed teams, this opportunity allows you to become familiar with the Sharks organization (a locally based all-girls program) in anticipation that you may eventually move to an all-girls team at the bantam/U14 age group. It would also allow you to continue playing with the friends and families that you have made in co-ed hockey if you choose to dual-roster. For those who are interested, it unlocks access to higher levels of girls’ hockey play in future seasons with a program that has been dedicated to girls’ hockey since its founding more than 20 years ago. The Shoreline Sharks have teams playing at all competitive levels, up to national championship-bound Tier II teams.
We are excited about working together to give girls even more opportunities to play hockey at Wonderland.

2025-2026 SEASON - WONDERLAND TEAMS
The Shoreline Sharks, an all-girls youth hockey program, is partnering with the Wonderland Wizards to provide team options for families interested in exclusively playing girls hockey or dual-rostering with an all-girls program at the Wonderland of Ice. For the 2025-26 season, we anticipate two Sharks teams being based at Wonderland: a U16/19 team coached by Matt Rowley and a U14 team coached by Matt Sather. Both teams will participate in the Connecticut Girls Hockey League (CGHL), a primarily state-based league.
Younger girls playing co-ed hockey can now join an all-girls team in the Bantam/U14 age group while continuing to have the co-ed experience. Additionally, this unlocks access to higher levels of play for future seasons through the Shoreline Sharks, a program dedicated to girls’ hockey since its founding more than 20 years ago. The Sharks offer various competitive options, including national championship-bound Tier II teams.
We are excited about the second year of this partnership and continuing to give girls more opportunities to play hockey at Wonderland.
