Under-9 (U9) Half-Ice Celebrations
What is a Half-Ice Celebration?
Hockey Saskatchewan believes that the first years of hockey should be a positive experience, offering a fun and exciting start that encourages young players to enjoy hockey for life!
The Half-Ice Celebration is a Hockey Saskatchewan program designed for Under-9 (U9) players, similar to the Under-7 Cross-Ice Jamborees.
These Celebrations are fun-based events where players develop and learn basic skills, build confidence through skill sessions, participate in small area games, and have the opportunity to play half-ice games. The Celebrations also provide a great way for coaches to learn about the game and practice formats.
