We have added a special new feature this year, a weekly full ice controlled scrimmage for U8 players (2003-2005). This season the younger players will be getting plenty of half ice drills and games, but they still desperately need to learn the geography of the rink and team play. This may be their only alternative to develop these skills, and not fall further behind Canadian players at the same age. Players will be assigned to one of two teams for the 7 week season. We intend to follow this up with a similar Winter season (Nov-Feb). 5/22/2011 Skating With Slava Program Announced The schedule and registration for our very popular "Skating With Slava" program can be found here and in the box to the right.
