U6 Fundamentals is a structured, learn-to-play hockey program for players aged 4 to 5, that uses Hockey Canada's U7 Program curriculum to teach beginners basic technical skills (skating, puck handling, stopping, passing, turning and shooting) in an atmosphere that stresses FUN, cooperation and fair play. The participants must be able to stand on the ice with skates.

The U7 Hockey Canada Player pathway is designed for players 5 and 6 years old and is suitable to all skill levels at this age group. U7 runs Saturdays and Sundays, and averages 2 days per week. Note that some weekends we may have only 1 hour depending on holiday weekends or blackout dates for tournaments.
