We are a Tier 1 National Bound program.  Our teams play in the highly competitive E9 and Boston Hockey Leagues; widely considered one of the top leagues in New England. 

The Jr. Thunderbirds, formerly known as the Springfield Rifles, partnered up with the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds on Feb. 9, 2022.

The Springfield Jr. T-Birds are one of the fastest growing youth hockey organizations in New England. This growth, based in the success of our players, was formed in the “T-Bird Way” - balancing both hockey development and competition.

I just wanted to reach out and thank everyone for coming to TBirds training camp last week. T-Birds camp is something I look forward to every year and helping develop youth hockey players is something I really enjoy doing. My hope is that I was able to teach each athlete a few things that they can continue to work on and bring into this upcoming season. In addition I hope every player had as much fun as us coaches. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents that helped get each player to the rink and on the ice on time. Thank you players for coming to the rink each day ready to work and learn. Lastly, thank you for asking questions and being as engaged as you all were. As coaches that’s something we really appreciate and did not go unnoticed.

Thank you all again for such a fun week!

I wish everyone the best of luck with your upcoming seasons and hope to see you around the rink soon
