EXCLUSIVE TO CYO
OUR NIAGARA ICEDOGS COACHING
AND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP !!
|
- Monthly training and educational sessions for our CYO coaches from the IceDogs coaching staff in their theatre so we can learn how to better develop and prepare our players of all ages
- Dryland training at their in-house facility with their expert staff
- Availability of the IceDogs players (game schedules pending) to join our players on the ice at practices to share their knowledge and experience with our players, skills they've learned, tips-and-tricks
- PLUS group tickets, benchwarmer events, mini-game events, and more!
|
Not only is CYO Minor Hockey one of the lowest priced options in Niagara, we have a lot of extras and amazing offerings this season to give our families the most bang for their buck! And all our home ice for games, practices, and additional development sessions like power skating and goalie camps will be at Merritton Arena - your home ice away from home!
Little IceDogs Programs
Our Little IceDogs division is a partnership program with the Niagara IceDogs and Timbits hockey for players aged 5 to 8. These levels offer cross ice and half-ice learning programs so players get more time with the puck in a fun learning environment. The Little IceDogs start Thanksgiving Weekend (October).
- U6/U7/U9 - Dedicated weekend ice so parents can set schedules for the season.
- U6's (1 hour a week) every Saturday morning around 9am.
- U7's (2 hours a week) Saturday and Sunday mornings.
- U9's (2 hours a week) Saturday and Sunday late morning or early afternoon.
Our Little IceDogs also attend Niagara IceDogs games, play in the mini-game between periods, have group ticket nights, attend an IceDogs jamboree with the IceDogs players, and more! Players also have the IceDogs logo on their jerseys!
Season Structure
All our home games and practices are at Merritton Centennial Arena.
U9s will play an internal house league setup, starting with half-ice 4 on 4 until the end of December, then in January we move to full-ice 5 on 5 with 3 proper stop-time periods. Practices are Saturdays and games are Sundays.
U11 and U13 Divisions play in the local loop, offering a larger variety and level of competition than just playing the same teams each week. Home games and practices are Saturdays and Sundays.
U15 and U18 Divisions play in the local loop, offering a larger variety and level of competition than just playing the same teams each week. Home games and practices will be primarly Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
Game times are proper hockey setups with 3 stop-time periods and timekeepers. Electronic gamesheets are used for U11 and up.

RS IceDogs
Our RS (Select) IceDogs are travel teams in addition to your house league or local league team (you play for both and have access to additional ice times and development). Tryouts will be held after Labour Day. All ice is at Merritton Arena, and we provide coaches with their schedule at the start of the year so it's available to plan games around.
All RS IceDogs teams attend Select Provincials at the end of the year.
