8U Program

This program is for players born in 2018 and 2019. 

Registration will open in Mid-June and closes the first week of August. We will hold evaluations to form our teams in August, and practices will begin after teams or chosen. Season runs August until the middle of March. 

Your practices and home games will be played at the RecPlex in St. Peters, Wentzville Ice Arena and the IceZone.

Our goal is for each player to receive 3-4 ice times per week, which include skills practices, team practices, home games, and away games.

Dues this year include 4 USA Hockey sponsored events. These events will consist of a mix of half-ice jamborees and full-ice game tournaments and are included in the team’s overall ice touch count. First event is Labor Day Weekend.

For St. Peters Hockey, we consider skills practices to be just as important as — or even more important than — team practices. Please note that weekly ice touches are subject to rink availability, holidays, team travel, and other scheduling factors. Ice touches include skill sessions, home games, away games, and other team activities based on each team’s schedule.

Our 8U teams will participate in 4-on-4 half-ice games and full ice games against teams from other local clubs. Each team will consist of 9-10 players and will be coached by volunteer parents. If you’re interested in coaching, please refer to the Coaching Requirements under the Resources tab on our website. During registration, there will be a checkbox to indicate your willingness to coach.

Please note that additional games may be added during the season, depending on the availability of other clubs and ice schedules.

Players in this program must purchase our club jerseys. You can find more information about jerseys under Resources. 

Your team may participate in jamborees/tournaments or showcases. Details concerning this will be discussed in detail at the Team Manager meeting.
