It is with extreme sadness that we share the passing of Jeremiah Wiltgen back on July 8th, 2018. During the 2017-2018 season, Coach Jeremiah served as an assistant on our 2007 Squirt 1 SAHA all-star travel team.  Coach Jeremiah was an exceptional hockey coach and an even better person.  As an organization, we are saddened by his passing and offer our thoughts and prayers to the entire Wiltgen family.

We also recognize that this can be a very difficult time for parents and skaters who were close to the Wiltgen family.  Below are a few resources on how to talk with children about the death of a friend or loved one.

OUR CHAMPIONS

The Skatium hosted the annual Hornets Sled Hockey Team vs Skokie Flyers 18U and 16U Midget Travel teams on Saturday, January 6, 2018. Through tremendous efforts of many of the leaders and patrons of the Skokie Amateur Hockey Association the Hornets Sled Hockey Program was presented with a check of $4000.00 at the conclusion of the evening. 

Former Chicago Blackhawks player and Stanley Cup Champion Jamal Mayers visits the Skatium to assist with the Blackhawks/Total Hockey sponsored "Little Blackhawks" class on March 26th.
