We are hosting an Open House on Wednesday, December 9  at 7pm at the Wildcat Clubhouse.

The Open House is an opportunity to see the facility, as well as to meet our coaching staff and various members of the organization. We have just finalized our coaching staff for the 2015 season and are excited and privileged to have what we feel are the most experienced and competent coaches in all of Canada. Our goal is to help develop young men both on and off the field in a competitive environment that rewards effort, commitment and above all else, civility. This informal evening is designed for you to gain an understanding of who the Edmonton Wildcats are and to get answers to any questions you may have.

We look forward to seeing you on the 9th!
