The Junior Lucky Pucks is an all girls traveling team for girls in South Florida ages 8-19. We play in the Southern Girls Hockey League.

All of the Lucky Pucks coaches are USA Hockey certified coaches. We strive to provide an all female coaching staff to provide the guidance, knowledge and experience that the current generation of girls hockey players are facing. Our coaches donate their time to make hockey more affordable to those who want to play and to “give back” to a community they love. We also have additional assistant coaches that join practices to assist in skill development when needed.
