Alternate weeks of Practice and Games
Practices will follow similar format to U7/Development with higher level stations.

Rotating weeks for players to try playing net
Game Day Format - Lists will be concrete and expectation will be for parents to communicate with level representative/manager if their child will be away for a game.
Coaches will make up teams during practice weeks and there will be a team list posted when girls arrive on game day so they enter change room with their teammates.
Parents can help get girls ready but clear out for pre-game talks
Girls will do a typical game warm up then play full ice using the benches
