The Edmonton Northstars Athletic Club is a chartered, non-profit organization that operates hockey, baseball and softball programs for youngsters between the ages of seven and 21 The club is run by an elected executive of (parent) volunteers from the communities of Beverly, Beacon, Newton, Montrose, Eastwood, Parkdale, Alberta Avenue, Delton, McCauly, Virginia Park, Killarney, Rosslyn, Glengarry, Delwood, Balwin and Belvedere.

The Executive includes at least one Director for each of the four player categories: "Initiation" (age 4-6), "Novice"(age 7-8), "Atom"(age 9-10) , "Pee Wee"(age 11-12), Bantam (age 13-14) and Midget {15-17}. Most first-time players will play in the Initiation and Novice categories, but it's not unusual for players to join at the other age levels. (Since Pee-Wee hockey involves body checking, this is the most difficult age for a first-time player to join.).
