Bantam Overview

AGE ELIGIBILITY
For boys players born between June 1, 2009 and May 31, 2011.

SEASON SCHEDULE
*** The FYHA calendar is tentative until we communicate it's final. ***


Fall Camp starts September 28 and will include four sessions.

Bantam Tryouts will be October 8, 9 & 10.  Freeze players will be in Moorhead Oct. 9 for scrimmages with MYHA as part of the tryout process.

In-season programming for Bantams begins October 14 with model of one 90-minute shared practice per week and two 6:00am single team practices (first two weeks of season may be all 60-minute practices at 6:00am).

Bantam teams will attempt to play 40-45 games which includes 3-4 tournaments for each team.  The Freeze focuses on the 40-45 game count, not the tournament count, in an effort to build competitive schedules for each team.  Fewer than three tournaments is a possibility.


The Bantam program is our adherence to the "Training to Train" portion of the USA Hockey Athlete Development Model.  The FYHA attempts to follow the ADM model throughout its program.

The Freeze follow the USA Hockey Skills Progression guidelines for its player development philosophy.
