U11 Prep Sessions for U9 Players born in 2014

Attention Parents of U9 players born in 2014

  • Dartmouth Whalers are putting on a U11 Prep Sessions for Players which consists of 3 - 1 hour ice sessions for a cost of $60
  • Sessions are open ONLY to Dartmouth Whalers second year U9 players with birth year of 2014 and who are moving to U11 for the 2023-24 season.
  • Sessions are for skaters ONLY, players that are planning to declare a position of Forward or Defense and not players declaring a position of Goalie next season.
  • No players who have another birth year of U9 are eligible to attend
 
Concept:
 
1. Players will be taught rules of full ice hockey i.e. Offside, Icing, Face off alignments in all 3 zones
 
2. Players will be taught basic concepts of playing positions and where to be on the ice during a full ice setting
 
3. Players will be broken into groups with proper instructor student ratio 
 
4. Players will evolve to full ice controlled scrimmage where instructors will interact with players to teach proper ice positioning
 
5. The sessions will focus on concepts of positioning in 3 zones of hockey as well as full ice skates with controlled environment. This is not about playing a game and keeping score etc.  
 
Registration is on a first come first serve basis, if the first Group fills up (up to a Max of 30)
 
Dates and times for the U11 Prep Sessions are as follow:
 
Feb 28 4:15 - 5:15 pm RBC Rink A

Condolences on Behalf of the Dartmouth Whalers

The Dartmouth Whalers Minor Hockey Association would like to express our sincere condolences to the family, friends and teammates of Brady Richard, who courageously lost his fight against cancer early Monday morning.

Brady loved hockey, both on and off the ice. He loved the Whalers and wore his Whalers jacket with pride. Last season, Brady played for the U11C Huskies and wore #5. He enjoyed hockey talk and was always making people laugh. When he wasn't on the ice, he was playing road hockey with his hockey buds. He loved Sidney Crosby and was so happy when he was able to meet him. 
 
He will always be remembered for his humor, his courageous fight and his positive attitude.
 
We would like to ask that the members of our Whalers community make one act of kindness in Brady's memory. 
 
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Richard family at this time. 
 
#BeBradyBrave
