DME Swamp Rabbits Youth Travel Hockey Program
The DME Swamp Rabbits are a youth travel hockey program committed to developing the next generation of exceptional players with strong core values. The DME Swamp Rabbits fields teams from 8U-18U and competes in the Tier II Statewide Florida Hockey League (SFHL). Led by Hockey Director Eric Perrin, a Stanley Cup Champion with an impressive 22-year professional hockey career, the Swamp Rabbits offer a unique blend of high-level instruction, mentorship, and passion for the game.
Under Eric’s leadership, the coaching staff shares a unified vision: to help every player reach their full potential both on and off the ice. The program emphasizes building a strong foundation in fundamental hockey skills—skating, puck handling, shooting, and game sense—while fostering a true love and respect for the sport.
With a focus on personal growth, teamwork, and competitive excellence, the DME Swamp Rabbits provide a positive, challenging environment where players are empowered to thrive.
