• SEASON:  Practices start in November and ends in early March.
• TEAM FORMATION: Co-ed teams are generally grouped by school of attendance and separated by Kindergarten and First Grade. We will make efforts to accommodate requests for girls to be grouped with other girls during practices.
• PRACTICES:  Two indoor practices per week. Practices will focus on skating, competition, puck handling skills, and passing/shooting skills all combined with ADM type skill stations to mask repetition. Skaters will be grouped with like-skaters and abilities. Practices are typically Saturday and Sunday mornings. Kindergarten teams will share the ice for one hour and 1st Grade teams will share the ice for one hour.  Additional outdoor ice will be added as weather permits.
• JAMBOREES: There will be an in-season Outdoor Jamboree in January and an Indoor Paw Power Jamboree in February/March.
• LITTLE CHIPPERS:  Mini Mite teams will have a Little Chipper appearance during an intermission of an Eagan High School Boys and/or Girls Varsity game. One parent/guardian admission is free.
• OPEN SKATING:  Registered Eagan Hockey players are admitted to open skating (including Club Sk8) at the Eagan Arena at no cost if they are wearing Eagan Hockey Apparel, so take advantage of this perk when you can.
