Hello Everyone,
My name is Bryan Smith and I am the head coach of the U9 Tier 1 Woodstock Wildcats this year. I wanted to provide some information about the plans for the year so that players and parents have a bit of an understanding of what the expectations are going to be.
The team will have 16 players. We play half-ice games until January 15th, 2024 and then we play full ice until the end of the year. The team will be announced by Sept 23rd.
Our main priorities are skill development, understanding of the game, and having fun so that everyone returns next year.
We are planning on attending 3 tournaments this year:
i) Woodstock Wildcats Tournament (half-ice tournament) – Dec 1st – Dec 3rd
ii) Brantford Tournament Feb 23rd – Feb 25th
iii) Provincials – April 2024
The calendar is starting to be updated with practices and exhibition games. Our league schedule will be determined in October.
Looking forward to having everybody out this coming week!
Thank you,
Bryan
