Minor Hawks

Introductory

Hockey League

Players born from 1/1/2005 to 12/31/2007 are invited to join the best developmental hockey league in the country. We will be following the USA Hockey Athletic Development Model to provide the best possible experi-ence for your up and coming hockey player. At ages 6-9 years old, our objective for physical development is to refine fundamental movement skills and begin to acquire basic sports skills. This is the time when a founda-tion is laid for future acquisition of more advanced skills. As far as psychological development goes, we will be focusing on providing FUN, motivating practices and games, developing reasoning skills through unstructured competition, building confidence by creating competitive groups which will allow for a high rate of success and promoting individual and group participation, maintaining a “no excuses” atmosphere, and introducing the par-ticipants to simple rules and sports ethics (fair play).

Registration Information Registration Information Registration Information Registration Information Fall Season: September 7 - December 22 Registration is on a first come, first serve basis, as space is limited. All participants must register at least one week prior to the start of the session. Once registered, you will receive an email with instructions for the evaluation skate. Please check out the Blues website at www.chicagoblueshockey.org or contact Todd Finner at (630) 670—3395 for more information.

FormatFormatFormatFormat Practices will be split into 4 groups based on ability. We recognize that each player is unique and develops at a different rate. By creat-ing parity within each group we feel that we can better serve the needs of each player on a more individualized basis. Players will have more fun by practicing at their own level and coaches will be able to create a more competitive atmosphere with the games and compe-titions in practice. Games will consist of half ice games with the new hard board system splitting the ice in two. Competitive matching will be the rule to create parity amongst teams. By splitting the ice into two we will be creating more opportunity for each young player to get involved in the game and thus use their skating, puck-handling, agility, and shooting on a more frequent basis.

FeesFeesFeesFees The cost to join the league is $260.00. Please register for this program on the Chicago Blues website at www.chicagoblueshockey.org. No walk-in registration will be permitted. The Chicago Blues is a non profit youth hockey organization.

Philosophy Fun and skills make up the foundation of our program.

Our training staff will be following the Long Term Athletic Development Model guidelines. Our objective is to provide a fun, family based environment designed for each child to develop a sense of self confidence, to promote fair play, to meet new friends and to develop a life-long interest in this great sport.

Fun And Skills… … the right place to start… … Ages 4-12

About the Program Pre-Hockey/Learn to Skate classes are structured so your child will have the opportunity to learn the basics of hock-ey from experienced professional in-structors in an atmosphere that is re-laxed, non-competitive and fun to learn. No skating or hockey experi-ence is needed. Classes with Pre-Hockey/Learn to Skate programs con-centrate on skating basics and confi-dence building.

Our hockey program prides itself on the quality of our coaching staff. Our program makes it a priority to train our coaches to ensure your child receives the best coaching instruction available.

Upon completion of our Pre-Hockey program, it is our goal to have pre-pared your child to be ready to join a team. Your child may then enjoy the excitement of playing on a hockey team with children of his or her own age. Evaluation will take place on final class to determine if your child should return to another Pre-hockey class or move up to a house league team.

Equipment Because our classes are instructional in nature, we do not require complete hockey equipment. We do require your child wear a HECC approved hockey helmet with face-mask, hockey elbow pads, shin pads, hockey gloves, jersey and has a hockey stick. Rental skates are available to rent for one dol-lar but purchasing a correctly sized quality skate is of great benefit to the skater. Equipment can be purchased at the Edge Pro Shop or at Total Hockey which is located at the corner or Route 83 and St. Charles Road in Elmhurst. We have a limited number of starter packages available for $85 which in-clude everything except skates and a hockey stick. Please let me know if you are interested in purchasing a starter pack.

you enjoy working with children? If so,
