The new Season starts on October 3rd for U9 (born 2012). There will be a practice on both Saturday and Sunday. You will receive notice shortly about which team (Ice, Mountain, Timber, Tundra, Arctic, or Wild) that your child will play on. The schedule is posted. See below for information about the league and Return to Play measures in place. We look forward to a fun Season! GO WOLVES!
We will be playing 4-on-4 full ice games and shared practices. The teams will play in two separate divisions to adhere to return to play guidelines. Since on-ice evaluations were not possible we have worked with the coaches from last year to evaluate our players. Our goal is to create six equally competitive teams. Some adjustments to Team rosters as we go may be necessary to meet this goal.

Players need to show up in their equipment minus skates and helmets 20 mins before their ice time. You will wait outside the main doors to the arena and be led in by staff to the ice surface you will be on after they have shared rules and guidelines. Including presently the following: There will be chairs set up in the (cold) viewing areas that are 6ft apart that the players use to get their skates and helmets on and off. Only one parent and no siblings are allowed in the arena and late people will not be allowed in (5 min grace period allowed). The one parent can stay and watch but they have to wear a mask and stay in the viewing area of the ice pad you are on. If you leave the arena for any reason you will not be allowed in. If you need to sit down you can only sit in the chair that your child sat in.
