Hello, Chebucto U7 Families!!

We have some exciting news!! 

Our U7s will hit the ice at our home rink, the LIONS ARENA, this Saturday October 4th for a welcome to hockey session! These sessions are not a part of our regular season. Chebucto has kindly gifted our U7 players with some extra ice time!! They are free of charge and fully optional, but very beneficial and highly recommended 

They will be used to get the kids out on the ice for a refresher if they are a returning player, and if this is your child's first year in hockey, these sessions will be an unstructured opportunity for first year players to come out and have some fun on the ice.

We will have some stations set up but kids will be allowed to move around freely and get comfortable on the ice, take some shots or just make snow angels and slide around. It's also a great opportunity for any parent volunteers to come on out on the ice and help kids get comfortable and have fun in an unstructured environment, so please bring your skates, helmet, gloves and stick and come out for a skate!!

Kids have been grouped in preliminary groupings below. If you feel your child has been placed incorrectly, please let me know. 

For the first few weeks we always reserve the opportunity to move players to a different group if it is deemed beneficial for their personal development path. I love to hear from parents who have insights and concerns that may help us place players most appropriately so that they have a fun and challenging season every year in U7.

If you do not see your player’s name, please reach out to me directly at U7@chebuctominorhockey.com or jaymckenzieslife@gmail.com and I will make sure they are added to the appropriate group.

Our regular season will start next weekend, October 11th and 12th. 

Final groupings and regular season practice times will be sent out next week. 

I am so excited to be back at the rink with you all to see these awesome little hockey stars hit the ice. Looking forward to another great hockey season!!

Let's Go Chebucto U7!! 

Yours in hockey,
