These stick and puck times are for the kids to have an opportunity to work on their skills in a free play environment. These will not be coach led sessions. Please sign up for ONE ice time in your childs age range. If there are still slots available the day of, your child may attend more then one ice time.

Parents are allowed to skate at the 9:45 and 11am ice times. They must have at least a helmet and skates on. If a parent goes on the ice, they are there to assist their child. This is not a time for the parents to work on thier shot and try to show off to other parents.

Warm Skate and Evaluation Information.

For all the new families and the veteran families that need a reminder,

August is when we get ready to get the season started!

The warm up skates are to knock the rust off and get ready for the evaluations. Yes, evaluations, not try outs. All of the kids are evaluated and placed on teams with other players of a similar skill level.

The first part of the evaluation process for the 8u-14u players is the combine. The combine consists of 6, skill based events. They will test the players skating, puck handling, passing and shooting skill level. We will use this data to make our first set of teams for the evaluation scrimmage.

The next part of the evaluation process is to see how the kids do in game situations. We do this by watching the kids in multiple scrimmages.

The 6u kids will practice all together, so evaluations are not needed. We will not divide those kids into teams until they start playing games.

The 8u kids will participate in the combine and a 1 day scrimmage. This data will help the coaches make groups for practices. From there the kids will be evaluated over multiple practices before dividing up into teams. There are 2 reasons for the delay in making teams at 8u. First, there is no deadline that we need to meet with MoHockey for 8u teams. Secondly, the skill level of the 8u players can develop at a rapid pace. There is no real reason to rush into making teams .

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE CALENDAR FOR WARM UP SKATE AND EVALUATION DATES AND TIMES
