U7s (ages 5 and 6) typically have the following schedule:

• From March until mid April ("pre-season")
  • Saturday and Sunday 9-10am @ South Memorial Box
• From mid-April until mid-June:
  • Team 1/2: Practice at Killarney Arena - 10:00 - 11:00am SATURDAY
  • Team 1/2: practice / HOME game at Killarney Arena - 8:30-9:30am SUNDAY

Note: games may occasionally happen on other days. This year, U7 will play "in house" meaning they will play largely against the other Vancouver team with occasional games against adjacent city teams.

At this age we play mostly Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby and North Shore teams. It would be very rare have to go beyond those cities.

There is no tiering/ranking of players at this age and all players will play "house" level.  Teams are Co-Ed. Games are typically about 35-45 minutes long with no score taken and no penalties given. No body contact is allowed - stick on stick checking only. 2 games are played at once "crossways" with the middle of the floor used as a "bench area".

Players aged 4 turning 5 in the year may be allowed to play - contact the registrar for more information.

**** Schedule is subject to change and will be finalized when we have our final player numbers!

There may be one or two tournaments - these are discussed with parents at the season kickoff meeting. Costs for tournaments are shared by all the players. At this age the tournament would almost certainly be somewhere in the lower mainland.

There is no tiering/ranking of players at this age and all players will play "house" level. Teams are Co-Ed. Games are typically about 45-60 minutes long. Players are allowed to place their stick on an opponent who has possession of the ball and push or steer her/him away ("place and push") or check the stick. No cross checking or body checking is allowed. Players will play "crosswise" 3v3 on the rink so two games could be played in parallel with benches taking up the middle portion of the floor. Players may transition to 5v5 full arena play later in the season.
