Team 4 - Green ?
Hello Team 4. We are well under way now. We have practiced once and played 3 games. Everything is going excellent and we see that we have a great group of kids to teach the sport of hockey too. I have asked you all to send me your child's choice of team name. Once everyone has submitted their choice we will choose a name. We also plan on putting name bars on the children's uniforms. This will cost each family approximately $12-15. I will also ask that everyone subscribes to the team website as this is where all information goes through. If anyone has any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to reach out to the Head Coach.
This season we plan on teaching all of the skills mentioned below. It will take a little time but I believe every child is capable of learning a lot about the sport of hockey. We encourage you to support and help teach your child as well. If they listen and practice hard results will be observed by everyone. Here are some of the skills of upcoming practices we plan on teaching.
