Brief History of the Jr Jets
The Wisconsin Jr Jets, originally known as Madison Stars AAA player development program was founded in 2004 by Bill McCoshen and Dan Schachte. McCoshen is now the managing partner and President of the NAHL Janesville Jets.
Effective during the 2010 spring season, the Madison Stars changed their name to the Wisconsin Junior Jets which will create the first fully integrated player development program in Wisconsin from Mites through Junior A.
Many former Madison Stars/Jr Jets players have DI Scholarships. Many others are current and former standouts on Team Wisconsin High School Select Teams, currently playing Junior Hockey, or NCAA College Hockey.
The goal of the Junior Jets program is to give high quality players from the area an opportunity to further develop their hockey skills through specific training methods both on and off the ice. We give players the knowledge they need to continue to improve if they are willing to put forth the effort. Our objective is to make good hockey players better! In addition, the Wisconsin Junior Jets will teach young athletes character development, leadership skills, and sportsmanship on and off the ice.
Spring Youth teams and Fall 15-18u teams are available most years. Teams are selected by tryouts or invite only.
This program is for serious players only. This program is not recreational hockey.
