U7 Initiation Program

The primary purpose of the U7 Initiation Program (IP) is to provide players an opportunity to develop hockey skills in a fun and supportive environment.

The IP motto is Fun, Fitness, and Fair Play!

When will hockey start?

• Parent Information Night will be conducted at the beginning of September by the U7 Convenor and Hockey Operations.
• Mid-September - the U7 Division Convenor will reach out via TeamSnap Email to invite your players to rust-off skates.
• Players are primarily grouped by age, then sorted into teams.
  • Evaluation skates will support forming teams.

How much time will my player be on the ice?

• IP4 will practice once per week.
• IP5 and IP6 will practice twice per week (occasionally it may be less due to ice availability).
• The arena  location and practice times will vary, but as a general rule, they will be in the morning, on the weekend.

Can I help?

• Volunteers are essential for all hockey programs to run efficiently.
• Every family is expected to contribute their time to support the team.

Are there any additional costs?

• Team Fees - up to a maximum of $150 (in addition to registration).
  • Utilized to cover fun days, team parties, and team experiences.

Program Fees are listed under the registration page.
