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

Fall Camp starts October 26, 2024.

There are no tryouts for Mites or 8U Girls.

In-season programming begins Nov. 9 with a weekday practice, a weekend practice and a weekend game. We utilize cross-ice (2-3 games at same time), half ice (2 games at the same time) or full ice (one game).

The end-of-season Jamboree is TBD.

In the advanced groups of Mite and 8U there may be showcase weekends with regional organizations in addition or in place of weekends games.  These teams will be put together based on the structure of each weekend event so similarly skilled teams are on the ice.

Per USA Hockey ADM's approval, the advanced Mite and 8U levels will have some full-ice play after the first of the year.

Holiday Tournament to take place weekend of Dec. 21-22. 

End of season Jamboree is weekend of February 28-March 2, 2025.

The Mite/8U program is our adherence to the "Fundamentals" 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.
