U9 NOVICE
WHAT YOU NEED
Full hockey gear is required with the exception of a mouth guard.
-Helmet (labelled with last name on it; as simple as a piece of tape and a sharpie works!)
-Neck Guard
-Shoulder Pads
-Elbow Pads
-Hockey Gloves
-Athletic Cup
-Hockey Pants
-Shin Pads
-Skates
-Stick
-Hockey Bag
-Water bottle - it is recommended to purchase a water bottle with an extended spout so your child can hydrate through their helmet. Helmets cannot be removed on the ice.
It is a good idea to label all of their gear
*Hockey jerseys will be provided at the beginning of the season and NEED TO BE RETURNED TO YOUR MANAGER at the end of the season.
Children born in 2014 and 2015 (must be turning 7 or 8 on or before December 31, 2022)
The season typically starts at the beginning of September and ends beginning to mid-March.
Two ice times per week. Days and times will be decided prior to the beginning of each season when number of kids and number of teams is determined.
Exhibition games will be played primarily in Fernie, Sparwood, Elkford and the Crowsnest Pass. There are optional opportunities to play tournaments across the East Kootenay or in Southern Alberta. The cost of tournaments varies and is separate from the initial registration fees.
Fernie will host a home tournament for the U9 division. Parents are expected to volunteer for fundraising, concession, raffle table, 50/50 and score keeping.
