TIER II TRAVEL ICE HOCKEY
THE WILD
About The WILD
The Campus WILD (click HERE for Wild website) is a Tier II USA Hockey Travel Hockey Club for area hockey players. We are proud members of the Delaware Valley Hockey League (DVHL). The DVHL is a USA Hockey sanctioned Tier II youth hockey league. For the 2025-26 season we'll be fielding U8-U18 teams at all Tier II levels. You'll enjoy our beautiful facility, warm up on our turf field and rock our Yeti on your jersey as you let your WILD side loose.
​
The WILD and ELITE EDGE, Philadelphia's premier hockey training program, have partnered again for the 2025-26 season to bring you the most innovative, well thought out and effective curriculum, training and coaching in the Delaware Valley.

Our Youngest WILD - U6 Boys & Girls - WHIP
Our WHIP program is an introductory skating/hockey program for the first-time girl or boy hockey player
between the ages of 4 and 6.
​
WHIP is a full-season winter program (September-February/March) that teaches the concept of cross-ice team play in accordance with the principles of USA Hockey's American Development Model.
Our goal is to develop every child's skills so that they are in a great position to move up to our U8 (Mite) travel teams.
​
Once basic skills have been established, the program places the players onto an Atoms team, allowing them to play in-house games against other WHIP teams and local games and tournaments against other area programs. Learn more about the WHIP program HERE.
​​
Evaluations / Tryouts For All Teams
Each spring players will participate in the evaluation/tryout process. This process allows The WILD to see how each player is developing, and place them on a team where their skill level can continue to develop. There will be two scheduled evaluation/tryouts per age group.

Practices and Games
On average, our teams practice twice a week. We'll play a full DVHL regular season game schedule (plus possible playoffs) and one free travel tournament. Teams travel increasingly more as the players progress through the system.
