Q: How is it funded?
A: Players and their families are responsible for all fees and costs associated with playing ice hockey. However, the Mesquite Colts offer a variety of fundraising opportunities to help defray the cost of playing hockey. The team also actively solicits corporate sponsorships to cover expenses wherever possible.
Q: Is there travel involved?
A: All games are held in the DFW metropolitan area.
