What We Offer

We offer house (recreational) and travel (competitive) hockey for youth aged 4-16.  House teams are comprised of equally talented players (boys and girls) and are open to any skill level. Travel teams are selected through a try-out schedule.  West Michigan Ice Dogs house & travel teams play all home games at Griff’s IceHouse West.  Both house and travel teams play at other arenas within the greater West Michigan area while travel teams have away games all over Michigan and neighboring states.

Our Values

West Michigan Ice Dogs Hockey prides itself on teaching the fundamentals of hockey, sportsmanship, and fun!  If you or your son or daughter is interested in Ice Dogs Hockey, please fill out the form below for more information.  Once your child has completed Griff’s Learn to Skate program, they will be filtered into the West Michigan Ice Dogs “Dog Pound” where they will learn to play hockey utilizing the American Development Model (ADM) and filtered into teams as skills progress.  For more information about our specific programs, drop us a message in the form below.

Get Involved

WMID is a non-profit organization run by a volunteer board. Fundraising helps us raise money for tournament play, off-ice equipment, team equipment, and scholarships. Our goal over the next few years is to invest funds to reduce player costs, implement an even bigger scholarship program, and hopefully reduce or eliminate our fundraising efforts altogether!

Little Wings - Learn To Play

Learning to play hockey is more than just learning a game. More than skating, passing and stick-handling, hockey is about responsibility, respect and teamwork. As children learn the skills needed to succeed on the ice, they also build and solidify important character traits needed to succeed off the ice. With that in mind, the Learn to Play initiative was developed jointly by the National Hockey League and the NHL Players' Association to offer more families a chance to experience everything that makes youth hockey so rewarding.

Developed with the help of experts from USA Hockey and Hockey Canada, the Learn to Play initiative aims to be the gold standard for youth hockey programs with the goal of inspiring more families to join the hockey community.
