âś… New to NCYH U8 Program

Please check in at the table Thursday. We will be passing out numbers to stick to your player’s jersey—this will help identify players.

⚠️ Important Items: Please Read!

Names on Helmets:
Use hockey tape to put your player’s first name on the front of the helmet.
Hockey Socks:
This is a critical safety issue! Socks protect the players’ legs. Make sure you either:
• Tape your player’s hockey socks, or
• Purchase jock shorts with velcro tabs from The Stick Rack to ensure socks stay up and cover the legs.
Jersey Handout: 📦 Saturday, October 11 (No on-ice session—just pick up jerseys)
U8 Sessions Start: 🏒 October 14 / October 16

NOTE: Times are subject to change due to ice constraints

Team evaluations- Tuesday, October 7 & Thursday, October 9 

Evaluations are how the teams are formed- All registered should attend, if possible, to assist in players being placed in the correct level. If your player is not able to attend, we do not have make-up sessions. They will just be assigned to a group and we can adjust if the director sees a need to move a child. 


Please be sure to attend the session that relates to what level your player played for the 24-25 season.
