Sharks Ice San Jose is proud to present the Sharks High School League (SHSHL), the premier high school hockey league in Northern California, for the 2024-25 season. In its first year of existence, the SHSHL began with just four teams. Since that time, it has grown to 30 High School Teams
The SHSHL operates the Varsity (Fall/Winter), Varsity (Spring) and Junior Varsity (Fall/Winter) leagues. Unlike traditional high school sports where Varsity and Junior Varsity are predominately decided by age, our divisions are exclusively decided by skill level.
The Varsity (Fall/Winter) division is made up of High school teams from all around Northern California and runs early October to mid-February.
The Varsity (Spring) division conducts tryouts that are available to Varsity, Junior Varsity-A, Tier and Travel level players . Not all players are guaranteed a position following tryouts. The season runs mid-March through early June.
The Junior Varsity (Fall/Winter) division is made up of Recreational, In-House and Travel level players that will be separated into three sub-divisions based on skill with the most novice level being non-check. The Junior Varsity (Fall/Winter) season runs early October through mid-March.
With more and more kids playing ice hockey, the Sharks High School Hockey League now looks to form teams made up solely of one school or geographical area. All players must be enrolled in high school in Northern California to participate. They also must provide all of their own HECC approved equipment. Practices and games for Varsity and some Junior Varsity teams will take place at Sharks Ice at San Jose, Sharks Ice at Fremont, and at the Oakland Ice Center Operated by Sharks Ice. Some teams will have games and practices at their home rink. Most games will take place on weekends with an occasional game played mid-week. No matter what your skill level is, there is a spot for you in the Sharks High School Hockey League.
See information below regarding specific SHSHL divisions.

The S.A.T. league is geared towards novice to intermediate Junior Varsity/Varsity skill level players. Junior Varsity division is non-check. Varsity will be a full contact division. The goal of the S.A.T. League is to allow players to develop their individual skills in a competitive environment. In addition, players will learn positional play and team concepts. This is a perfect opportunity for those who are getting into the game of hockey or for those who want to sharpen their skills in a fun, safe, and relaxed atmosphere. Some school programs may enter their own teams. We will also field our San Jose in house high school teams that are drafted based on previous season level of play.
