At the U7 and U9 levels there is a vast mix of skill, ability and focus among players. Specifically, at U7 we accept 3 birth years. Some players are new skaters, and some have skated for 2 years. As you can imagine, this is challenge for coaches, volunteers and players. The hockey experience is more beneficial and enjoyable when like-skilled players are grouped together. There are more puck touches, better team play and player development. West 39 Hockey is proposing that we look at making Major and Minor teams at both U7 and U9 this season. This may mean combining communities to accommodate these teams. After registration has closed, WMHA will send out a voting platform to members at the U7 & U9 levels to help make this decision.
