Freeze Tier II Travel Hockey
The Frederick Freeze Tier II Travel Hockey program fields teams at all age classifications (8U - 18U) including girls-only teams, offering a range of playing levels including AA, Upper A, Lower A, and B teams. Freeze teams compete in the Chesapeake Bay Hockey League (CBHL) alongside the Atlantic Hockey Federation (AHF), with the exception of our 8U, non-Gold girls, and 18U teams.
The Frederick Freeze offers two 80-minute practice slots per week for 8U and all AHF-competing teams (one 80-minute practice slot per week for non-Gold Girls and non-AA 18U), additional power skating and skills clinics built into the schedule and weekly dedicated goaltender development through our partnership with Wolfe Hockey Development.

Tryouts along with all home games and practices, will be held at Skate Frederick, 1288 Riverbend Way, Frederick MD 21701.

Games
Frederick Freeze teams competing in both the CBHL and AHF can expect to play 50+ games between league play, showcases, non-league games, tournament schedules and potential league playoffs.
Teams only competing in the CBHL (8U, non-Gold girls, and 18U) should expect 30+ games.
The 6U/Futures team is designed to be a practice-only team with a handful of non-league games and tournaments, amounting to about 15-20 games.
All teams are expected to participate in three tournaments throughout the season, with at least one being a destination location. Generally, one tournament is played locally, one within a four-five hour drive, and one within a six-ten hour drive (excluding 8U).
Practices
All teams competing in both the CBHL and AHF, as well as all 8U teams, have two 80-minute practices per week (excluding some holiday weeks).
Non-Gold girls teams and non-AA 18U teams have one 80-minute practice slot each week.
All teams (excluding 6U Futures) are expected to conduct dryland training and/or video review into their practice schedules. The Frederick Freeze has partnered with the City of Frederick to utilize the Riverwalk Park and Hillcrest Park roller hockey surfaces for dryland training and system walkthroughs.
Goalies will work with Wolfe Hockey Development within their practices once a week, but also within goalie-only clinics separate from their team practice schedules. Goalie-only clinics will either take place at Skate Frederick or Laurel at Wolfe's Ice Den.
