The Bantam level is the most advanced level in youth hockey player development. Body checking is taught and

becomes a part of practices and games at the Bantam level.

The tee ball level is dedicated to players with birthdays between June 1st, 2010 and May 31st, 2012.

Bantam hockey begins in mid-October and goes through early March. Ice time is scheduled for 5-6 times per week on Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays and also includes Open Hockey sessions and games. 

Tournaments are held at various times and location during the year.

Keep your eyes on the arena and practice schedules!

At the Squirt level, "A" and "B" level teams will be determined through a player evaluation process.

At the 10U level if we have enough players for two teams the teams will be "A" and "B" level teams formed by the coaching staff, focused on assigning each player to the team level that will allow the player to continue developing individual and team skills.

Players should bring their own skates, gear, and water bottles clearly marked with their name.

We are looking for parent volunteers to coach! If you are interested in coaching, please contact our Recreation Coordinator, John Wuitschick, via email at jwuitschick@eastgrandforks.gov. You can also call the Parks & Recreation Office at 218.773.8000 prior to registering to get set up as a coach.
