Practice / General(Head Coach):

Goal is to improve Hockey skills and knowledge and to HAVE FUN

  • All kids will play all positions throughout the year, as much as possible the kids will play a position for 1-2 weeks to become comfortable at that position. There will be more switching of positions the first half of the season. The second half and for tournaments the positions will be more stable. In practice, the kids will work at the positions they will be playing that week(s).
  • Goalies - All children willing to play goalie will play goalie. We are not going to force anyone to play goalie but we will encourage it. The goalie will play goalie for the entire weekend.
  • Players must wear mouth guards
  • No game Jerseysor socks in Practice
  • Bring a dark and light Jersey to practiceso it is easier to separate kids for scrimmage.
  • If your child needs a ride to a game or practice – send an e-mail or call and someone can help get your child there.
  • We will have Occasional dry-land practices to help with Conditioning and positioning
  • Coaches Evaluations in January and at the end of the season
  • Coaches will do player Evaluations in January and End of the Season
  • If you have concerns or issues, please talk to the coach, Team rep, or ALD. We want to make this fun for everyone and help the kids improve on and off the ice.
