When Reedsburg/Wisconsin Dells/Mauston youth hockey teams out of the South Central Cyclones organization a few seasons ago, they adopted the RWD logo used by the varsity Co-operative effort used by high schools from the same region.

This season the youth organization will have a meaner look having adapted ‘Yeti’ as the local logo and mascot.

Team colors will remain the same (two shades of blue and white) but the enraged cold weather cousin of Bigfoot/Sasquatch will be featured on the front of the jersey, snarling at RWD opposition teams.

The local hockey organization has found some local sponsors to help outfit the two Squirt teams along with the Peewee and Bantam teams. The mites are scheduled to make the change in time for the 2024-25 season.

Local teams have been on the ice regularly since the ice went in at the Lake Delton Ice Arena and the tryouts splitting the Squirts into ‘A’ and ‘B’ clubs was expected to wrap up this weekend (Sept. 29-30). A couple fundraising tournaments in October will lead into the start of WAHA league play in late October.
