FRANCIS HOWELL HOCKEY CLUB

Founded in 1982, the Francis Howell Hockey Club provides a competitive hockey experience for students in grades 7–12 within the Francis Howell School District. Our program emphasizes teamwork, discipline, skill development, and respect for the game — all while representing the Vikings name with pride. Francis Howell Hockey Club is a non-school funded 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. While we proudly represent the school community, the club operates independently and receives no financial support from the school district. Despite this, we are expected to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, sportsmanship, and player development. Today, the club fields Varsity, Junior Varsity, and B teams competing in the Mid-States High School Club Hockey Association (MSCHA), governed by Missouri Hockey and USA Hockey. The club also fields a number of inline teams from 4th-12th grade competing in Missouri In-line Hockey Association (MOIHA). We provide year-round development opportunities, including structured practices, skate sessions, and competitive play. Because the cost of operating the program falls entirely on families, fundraising is essential. Donations and sponsorships help offset rising expenses and support scholarships, team events, and the overall sustainability of the program — ensuring our student-athletes can continue to grow on and off the ice.
