About the Seattle Junior Mets Tier II Program

Seattle Junior Hockey Association is pleased to announce the Seattle Junior Mets Tier II Program for the 2023-2024 season.

Tier II Focused:  Seattle Junior is committed to playing high level Tier II games all season long. In the PNAHA league, in the National Showcase League, in Canada, and along the West Coast, we will be placing our teams in a position to be competitive in every game. Playing like competition will provide more opportunities for players to learn important skills that will help them move up in the following seasons. Our goal is to move players to Tier I every season and win championships doing it. Many opportunities for exposure will come from travel as well, especially the National Showcase League which will have events in adjacent time zones.

Increased ice time:  Starting in the 2023-2024 season our Tier II teams will be on the ice three times a week for practice for 1.25 hour slots.  This will bring better balance between development and game time.  We expect that the investment of ice time for players will pay off in their Hockey IQ and skill development.

Commitment Expectations: Our Tier II requires a high level of commitment from all players. Practices will be mandatory and travel expectations will be set by coaches ahead of the season. Off ice training will be expected from all players before and during the season. The revamped OVA gym will be a key space for players to develop strength, speed, flexibility, and mobility throughout the season.

Gear Upgrade: It is an honor to wear the Seattle Junior Mets Tier II jersey. These teams will be the only SJHA Youth teams to wear full-knit jerseys with the new logo. Teams can elect to order a third jersey as well. We will stand out from the crowd, and we must act like it.
