U15 Lakers

U15 Lakers are 13 & 14 years old, and for the 2025-2026 season that means their year of birth is 2011 and 2012.  Our U15 Lakers play in the Central Alberta Hockey League  (CAHL).

Last season we had two U15 Lakers Teams who had great seasons.

SLMHA is also host to the West Central Hub who provide U15 players with the opportunity to play at the AA level.  This is the West Central U15 Tigers. If you are interested in trying out for the U15 West Central Tigers, there is a $200.00 tryout fee applied to U15 SLMHA Registration Fees.
