We are so excited to start our season with our 2026/27 U11 C Gold Penguins! 

In our first two half-ice practices we have been working on FUNdamentals especially our skating forwards and backwards and tight turns. We have some skaters who are still at the early stages of learning and we are so pleased with their no-quit attitude and it has been so great watching them improve and working hard.

We will have our first full ice practice of the year this Sunday where we will start learning about our positions and keep working on our skating skills. After practice we are going to take the team for a dryland training session to help round out our overall fitness for this young group of promising athletes.

We are learning to train which means eating healthy, getting our bodies moving each day and having at least 1 high intensity exercise activity (soccer, playground, bike ride, running, basketball) at home per week above and beyond our hockey sessions as we start the season and try to get fit before puck drops on our first game of the season on October 18.

Looking forward to getting to know our players and families more soon.

See you on the ice!

Coach Jon
