Fall Hockey Season

Season Runs September - February/March

The FV Hawks compete in the IHSHL North Central Hockey League and fields teams at both the Varsity and JV levels. We roster between 2-4 teams depending on registration numbers each season.

The North Central League currently has three separate divisions at both the Varsity and JV levels each, allowing us to place our teams appropriately for their level of play.
