The Northbrook Jr. Bluehawks is a youth ice hockey club for Mite-aged (8 and under) players offering House League and competitive Travel programs. The Jr. Spartans are affiliated with the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and AAU Hockey Illinois, and field teams in the Chicago United Hockey League (CUHL).

For additional information please contact the Jr. Bluehawks' Director of Hockey Development, Ken Johnson, at kbjis@yahoo.com.

Thursday, April 2 @ 7pm, join us on the Northbrook Bluehawks Facebook page for a LIVE Q&A Session with JT Compher and Jesse Compher. JT currently plays in the NHL with the Colorado Avalanche and previously played college ice hockey and was captain for the Michigan Wolverines of the Big Ten Conference. Jesse currently plays for the Boston University Terriers and represented the US on the women's national ice hockey team at the 2019 and 2020 IIHF Women's World Championship.  

The Comphers will talk about their experiences and answer questions about hockey, workouts, life... and anything else that comes to mind. Don't miss this exciting event!

NBHL cares about your health and is aligning with local action plans to address COVID-19. It is our intent to continue Spring Hockey when it is safe to do so, and the timing of this is closely connected to Park District Sports Center availability. Once NBHL is made aware of a date the Sports Center will re-open, NBHL will mobilize to get Spring Hockey, in some form, up and running.

Spring Hockey program scenarios are being evaluated based on a variety of factors, however, no plans can be established at this time. Rest assured, our goal is to get our hockey players back on the ice when it is safe to do so, even if that is for a shortened spring season. Once programming is set, we will share any adjustments being made for spring fees already paid, with the intent of being fact based and fair in the process.

In our constantly evolving environment, we learn and plan daily. As things change, this website will be updated and more questions can be answered as we learn more. In the meantime, enjoy the extra family time and we wish everyone good health.

Congratulations Mite 1 on your CUHL Championship!

Jr. Spartans doing what they love!

The Jr. Spartans' Mite 2 team's Bennett T. took part in the "Shoot the Puck" game between periods at the Blackhawks vs. Red Wings game on January 5. He was so excited (and nervous) to do it, and missed scoring a goal by less than 1 foot. He was also excited to wear his Jr. Spartans jersey (over his Kane jersey) on the ice.
