October 10, 2023 - March 26, 2024
$460/ Season (Oct-Mar)
A non-refundable deposit of $100 is due at the time of registration. After the initial deposit, an auto draft of $60/month will be put in place for the remaining balance.
A full season hockey team for advanced skaters!
Program Goal:
We follow the American Development Model (ADM) with station based practices that are designed for Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD). Our goal is for our kids to find joy in the game and set a great foundation for their future success on and off the ice.
Additional Info:
A skills evaluation will take place on October 5th at 5:30pm before the start of the season and our coaches will work to determine kids that are a good fit for 8U or the 7U Mini-mites program. Some shifting of those teams may occur over the course of the season at the discretion of the directors and coaching staff. Both programs will occur on the same ice during the season.
Each player needs a USA Hockey number in order to be on the ice.
BEFORE you register, please go to USAhockeyregistration.com and register through them. The confirmation number that you receive in the response email (9 digits followed by the first 4 letters of your child's last name) is the number you will need before registering for a program.
Equipment Info:
A full set of hockey gear is required for kids to play on the ice. MRC offers full sets of gear for kids to borrow for the season at no extra cost, as long as it is returned at the end of the season in March. Parents will be required to fill out an Equipment Rental form for any gear borrowed.
Any child borrowing gear will need to be fitted for it. Emails will be sent out a couple of week before the season begins with a link where you can sign up for a gear fitting time. If you register within a week of the program beginning, please plan to arrive no later than 1 hour prior to the program ice time to be fitted for gear.
