Back by popular demand -- Mixed Division Games throughout the day!
For those who participated last year, you should remember this awesomeness!
Games are set with each age group facing off against players from their own division. 1 age division starts the game (5 on 5) and plays to the 2 minute buzzer. When the buzzer goes, both lines change and the next group will go from the other age division.
For example: Last year we matched U11s with U18s. The U11s played 5 on 5, using a 2 minute buzzer. When the buzzer sounds, the U11s (including the goalie) all race to the bench, and line change with the U18s (including their goalie), who race out to continue the game until their 2 minute buzzer goes and they switch with the U11s again. It becomes very strategic if you can dump that puck right as the buzzer sounds, since the puck stays live! We had such good feedback from all our participants last year we wanted to make sure we brought it back again this year.
Open Public Skate @ 1pm
The open skate at 2pm is for all our players, families, and siblings. All our welcome to don their skates and enjoy a public-skating style event. Children under 12 are required to wear helmets.
Coaches vs Kids Games @ 1pm and 5:30pm
These games will be set by registration interest (who wants to play) and with age considerations in mind. These are for-fun games so our coaches can show their stuff! Team lists will be posted closer to the event. The 1pm game will be for the younger aged players and their coaches, and the 5:30pm game will be for the older divisions and coaches.
