While the NHL Blues are still awaiting their first national championship, the St. Louis Junior Blues, playing out of Affton, have their sights set on bringing home a third consecutive National B Championship to St. Louis.
A visit to the Affton rink will give you a close-up look at one of hockey's top trophies. The National B Championship trophy stands about three feet tall, and lists the names of National B champions for the past twenty or so years. Like the Stanley Cup, the National B Champtionship trophy stays in the home arena of the championship team. The National B trophy is now beginning its third year being housed at the Affton Arena.
The Junior Blues are a powerhouse in amatuer hockey. In St. Louis, amateur hockey continues to grow in popularity, with Affton home to some of the area's best teams.
St. Louis is blest with an abundance of ice rinks. It's hard to drive more than 15 minutes without coming to another ice skating facility somewhere around the St. Louis area.
If you enjoy watching ice hockey, and don't want to pay the high price of an NHL game, check out one of our many high school or other amateur league games.
