Our U8 program is the continuation of development in the basic skills of hockey including skating technique (forwards, backwards, edges, etc.), passing, puck handling, and shooting.
Fun, skill development, and fair play are the central components of our U8 division. All players will be assigned to teams to create a balanced, fun, team based atmosphere.
All games are half ice in accordance with OMHA / Hockey Canada regulations. Half ice hockey promotes age appropriate practice and game play for the age, size, and skill of the players.
All U8 practices and games are held at Glanbrook Arena on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
