The team has evolved over the years to a select pre/post season team(s) that includes Squirts, Peewee, Bantams, Midget or High School age hockey players from any state or country. These players are selected from Skills Assessment that are run by the Black Ice Hockey Association or from scouting any youth teams or varsity players during the high school season.
