Since the 2006-2007 season will have many changes have come about for the Neponset Valley River Rats. Earlier in the year Massachusetts Hockey voted to add players from Districts 4 and 5 areas be allowed to play for the River Rats. The River Rats will now be able to pick from players from Districts 3, 4 and 5. (Cape Cod and the South Shore have been added to go along with District 3, the area the River Rats are able to choose from this season.) These changes will be made for the Player Development Levels- Pee Wee Minor through Bantam Minor.
The River Rats will once again provide 2 sessions a week for professional dryland training that will be before the team practices. The ice time each week with be constant, either 6, 7 or 8 PM depending on the team. There will also be a professional skills session each week, taught by coaches such as Ed Kessel, Jack Sweeney (Walpole Stars EJHL Head Coach), Bill Hanson (Catholic Memorial High School Head Coach) to name a few. The goaltenders will not be left out either as there will be a professional goalie coach at practice once a week.
All listed above will be at the beautiful Foxboro Sports Center. All home games will also be played at the Foxboro Sportscenter. The Foxboro Sportscenter has wireless internet, 8 flat screen cable televisions, a full restaurant, a gym and a full pro shop inside. Each player with the River Rats will receive game and practice socks, practice shirts and a new bag each year.
The Neponset Valley River Rats are committed to bringing the best organization to all in the coming year and continue to place their former players at quality High Schools and Colleges.
