Ages
This program is for players born 2013 and 2014 and have completed 6U or a Learn to Skate program.
When
We hold evaluations to form our teams in August. Practices begin the first week after Labor Day and your season runs until the middle of March.
Where
Your practices and home games will be played at the RecPlex in St. Peters and Wentzville Ice Arena.
Practices
Our 8U program will practice and play home games 2-3 times per week. Practices are station based and follow USA Hockey ADM practice plans. Skill sessions with our Skills instructor are included in your ice allocation.
Games
Our 8U teams will play 4-on-4 half-ice games against teams from other clubs in the area.
Teams are comprised of 9-10 players and are coached by volunteer parents. Parents who are interested in coaching, please refer to the Coaching Requirements on the Resources tab on the website. There will be a check box at registration where you will be able to make the club aware of your willingness to coach.
Jerseys
Players in this program must purchase our club jerseys. You can find more information about jerseys under Resources
Additional Costs
Your team may vote to participate in jamborees (similar to tournaments). One of these jamborees typically costs each player around $40.
Teams will have the opportunity to earn funds to help pay for some of their additional costs, by helping with the 8U Jamboree hosted by St. Peters Hockey Club during the season. Details concerning this will be discussed in detail at the Team Manager meeting.
