FZE Varsity Hockey

Fort Zumwalt East proudly ices both Varsity and B-level teams each season, giving players of all skill levels the chance to compete, grow, and represent their school with pride. The Fort Zumwalt East Hockey Club is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing high school hockey opportunities for students in grades 7–12 who live within the Fort Zumwalt East High School district. While the program operates as a non–school-sponsored club, we skate under the Lion name and logo, and our athletes and coaches hold themselves to the highest standard—representing Fort Zumwalt East with integrity, sportsmanship, and Lion pride both on and off the ice.

Ages

Fort Zumwalt East Hockey welcomes student-athletes in grades 9–12 to compete at the Varsity level. In compliance with league requirements, any player who turns 17 on or before December 31, 2025 must complete SafeSport Training, available under the ‘Resources’ section.
