The Pre-Season Hockey Clinics are setup to give players an opportunity to get onto the ice and into hockey shape prior to the season starting and potential evaluation / tryout period. The clinics at the Mite, Squirt, Peewee, Bantam and Girls 8U, 10U & 12U levels will be a combination of PEP & station based skill development drills, power skating, small area games, 3 on 3 and cross-ice games.

The clinics will be six sessions (7 hours) of ice time for all Squirt, 10U, Pee Wee, 12U and Bantam players. Mite, 8U and Termite clinics will be 6 hours of ice time. 

Clinics will begin 1-2 weeks prior to the season beginning. The clinic is offered to allow beginning players the

opportunity to get familiar with their equipment while getting a feel for the ice and surroundings. Players get the

opportunity to meet their coaches and the other players they will spend the season with.

Clinics will begin 1-2 weeks prior to their season beginning. The clinic is offered as an opportunity for

the returning players to get re-acquainted with their hockey equipment, the ice, coaches and other players they skate

with and against during the season. It also gives new players a chance to test their skills and get comfortable with the

surroundings.

Clinics will begin 10 days to 2 weeks prior to evaluations / tryouts and

the season beginning. These are ice sessions geared towards returning to the ice from the off-season, working on

individual skill development and taking part in competitive and fun practice sessions. Depending on the number of

registered players, the Squirt, Peewee and Bantam levels all execute an evaluation / tryout process at the beginning of

the season that will determine team assignments. The fall clinics are NOT mandatory, but a time for players to

prepare for the upcoming season and evaluation process.

Programs offered through the EGF Parks & Recreation Department are setup for citizens within the EGF city limits. Those wishing to participate that live within Polk County but outside of the city limits MUST complete the Non-resident Participation Form prior to registering.
