APHA House League - U9

 

Tuxedo participates in the APHA House League with five other APHA Community Centers. Each of the Community Centers forms teams in two categories: U9 and U7 (often referred to as "Timbits Hockey".  Each Community Center forms as many teams as possible based on their registration numbers. The season consists of 18 to 20 indoor and outdoor games starting in November and winding up in February. Teams will typically practice on Saturday mornings and have ‘game days’ on Sunday mornings. Each may complement their schedule with exhibition tournaments and practices. The league is designed to focus on skill development and participation, NOT competition. Boys and girls are welcome.

 

The registration fees include a 6- 8 week Initiation Program for all participants. The indoor Initiation Program will be run over about 4-6 consecutive weekends starting in October prior to the start of the season. The program is geared towards kids of all skill levels. The House League program is a wonderful program for children interested in hockey, so don't hesitate to sign-up and give it a try.
