OUR HISTORY
Since 2022, Lethbridge United has offered a competitive environment for Southern Alberta’s top hockey prospects. Competing across Western Canada, our club quickly became recognized for its structured player development, a strong team culture, and a deep commitment to the community we represent.
Over the years, we’ve not only grown in trophies and titles, but also in the positive impact we make on our players’ lives.
Coaching Philosophy:
We balance high-tempo practices with purposeful instruction. Our coaches focus on everything from skating fundamentals (edges, puck protection, transition speed) to game strategy (special teams, situational awareness) and even the mental side of competition.
Video analysis sessions and one-on-one feedback help each player translate practice improvements to game-day performance. We coach not just for the next game, but for long-term growth.
Community Impact:
We’re proud to call Lethbridge home, and giving back is a core part of who we are. From school visits and learn-to-play clinics with local kids, to charity exhibition games that support local causes, our players learn to lead, serve, and inspire beyond the rink. Hockey is our platform – community is our purpose.
Every season, we organize food drive nights, volunteer at community events, and encourage our athletes to be positive role models. When we say “We Are The U,” it means we are one with our community.
