Stars Headlines

Dear Southtowns Stars Families,

September is here and the Midget season is fully underway. Our younger players have begun their practices and early scrimmages conditioning too. There are a few items that are very important to consider to ensure you and/or your child are ready to hit the ice when the time comes. 

Your Southtowns Board of Directors continues to stay busy working to prepare and plan for this upcoming season. As there are each year, the beginning of the year can often be a bit bumpy.  We ask for your patience and understanding as we have many new board members this year and learning the ropes of each position is no easy task.  The Board of Directors is here to represent our Southtowns families.  If at any time you have concerns, questions or would like to offer feedback, please reach out to any of these dedicated members.  They work tirelessly to ensure our season is successful each and every year.  Continue to enjoy the remainder of the summer months and remain healthy because regular season hockey  action is just around the corner.  Go Stars!

All My Best,

Rich Vittoria, President & Chief Operations Officer

We are excited to announce that our Skating & Goalie clinics are back.  

Tom Iafallo will continue to lead Skating Clinics and Bob Janosz will continue to lead our Goalie Clinics. There is a maximum of 35 registrants/skaters per session. 

Skating Clinics: 

For Teams 
To reserve a clinic for your team, please contact John Franke at vp@southtownsstars.com in advance. The cost per team is $150 and can be sent via Venmo to Bev Kirkpatrick: @beverly-kirkpatrick-2.

For Individual Players
For future clinics that don't have a team already booked, they're open to registered STS players. Each player must register in advance via an online form (which will be posted below within a week of the clinic date). The cost of the skating clinics for individual players is $15 and must be paid via VENMO to @beverly-kirkpatrick-2 after you register.  You'll see a Southtowns Stars Logo next to her name. 

 VENMO is the only payment accepted at this time. In order to be on the ice, you must register and submit payment.

Goalie Clinics will cost about $125 per team which will be drafted in late November/early December from your team bank account.  We are asking that our head coaches require Goalie Clinics 1x each month when it does not conflict with a team hockey event.  Therefore, no signups will be needed and there's no direct cost for each individual player.
