The North Shore Shamrocks and Bauer Hockey have entered into an equipment agreement for the coming season that allows each player access to great equipment at a discounted price.

All new Shamrock players must purchase a custom Bauer shamrock shell at the fitting, however returning players may use their shells from prior years. Also being a member of the program requires you to have a green helmet, which we will offer at a discounted price at the fitting. The helmet does not need to be purchased at Ristuccia, but through Bauer you will receive a discount at the time of the fitting. Each player will receive a Bauer sweatshirt and winter hat as part of the program tuition and must be sized for these items during this fitting.

 
Please be advised that it is very important to come during your scheduled time on April 7th. We will have extra staff on duty to allow people to get in and out as soon as possible. Make sure to bring your hockey pants to ensure the we can fit your shell properly to the pants that you will be wearing during the season. Checks, credit cards, and cash will be excepted at the fitting.

The Ristuccia Arena is not only the Boston Bruins Practice and Training Center, but as the recently installed sign over the arena entrance indicates, it is also the home of Shamrocks Hockey.  Along with the 9 North Shore Shamrock teams of the IJYHL and EHF, the Boston Shamrocks of the JWHL also call Ristuccia Memorial Arena home.

In addition to being the cleanest facility in the region, and because it is the Official Practice Center for the NHL's Boston Bruins, the Ristuccia Arena has one of the best ice surfaces in the Northeast.  The arena’s professional staff continually monitors and maintains the ice to keep it up to NHL standards.
