8U: 4 on 4 / 3 on 3 (7 Practices + 7 Games)
Red, White and Blue Hockey. Teams will be divided by skill level. Red and White teams will play 4 on 4, half ice games. Blue teams will play 3 on 3, cross ice games. Each team will have 1 hour long practice a week which will incorporate constant activity and player involvement. All games will be played on the weekends.
Practices: Thursdays @ 6:00pm
Squirt: 5 on 5 (7 Practices + 7 Games)
Teams will be divided evenly. To help prepare the new Squirt players who are moving up from 8U, teams will play 5 vs. 5 so they can learn the rules of the game as well as participate in full ice hockey games. Each team will have 1 hour long practice a week which will include an abundance of small area games and battle drills while still focusing on individual player development. All games will be played on the weekends.
Practices: Thursdays @ 7:10pm
Peewee/Bantam: 4 on 4 (7 Practices/Scrimmages + 5 Jamboree’s)
Teams will be divided evenly and each team will play 4 on 4, full ice, non checking games. These fast paced games will give the players a chance to work on their creativity as they will have more time and space on the ice due to less players. This format will increase puck possession, passing attempts and of course, scoring chances, which should make for a fun and exciting spring session. Great for goaltenders as they will see a high volume of shots. Each jamboree will include 3 games per team, with each game running 28 minutes. Each hour long practice will include an abundance of small area games and battle drills. Each team will have 1 practice during the week and 5 jamboree’s scheduled only on weekends.
Peewee Practices: Tuesdays @ 7:40pm.
Bantam Practices: Thursdays @ 8:20pm
