Welcome
to Eden Prairie Girls Hockey!!
Eden Prairie provides girls hockey
teams at all age levels, starting at the 6U (6 and Under) age group. We are happy to announce our second
year of having a Girls 6U level, with two teams this season.
Rule of thumb for age-group
breakdowns:
Age levels are cut off with a July 1st birthday, but a general rule
of thumb that is good to go by is as follows:
Girls 6U Registration – If your
daughter is in Kindergarten or 1st grade in Fall 2009, then she is
encouraged to register at the 6U level.
Girls 8U Registration – If your
daughter is in 2nd or 3rd grade in Fall 2009, she should
be registering for the Girls 8U age group.
Girls at these age levels will still
be allowed to join, although remaining spots are limited. Please contact the Girls Coordinator at
girls@ephockey.com if you are
interested.
2008-2009 Season Recap
Overall, Girls Eden Prairie Hockey
has enjoyed years of success. Last
year marked significant milestones for our younger age groups. We celebrated a fantastic 2008-2009
season in the first year of having a 6U team. While our focus at this age level is highly focused on fun
and skills development, our girls still enjoyed a little friendly competition
with other District 6 Girls 6U teams, including Edina, Minnetonka and
Bloomington. Our season came to an
exciting finish by playing in the Bloomington Memorial end of season
jamboree.
The Eden Prairie 8U teams also enjoyed exciting seasons and the girls made
significant strides (pun intended) in their hockey skills and understanding of
the sport. While we still focus
our coaching at this age level on making sure the girls have fun while growing
in their skills development, they also enjoyed some friendly competition, and
showed outstanding sportsmanship!
The 8U Upper team ended their “almost undefeated” season by winning the
Shane Senescal Memorial Sportsmanship award, awarded to the team that showed
high sportsmanship throughout the season and at the Bloomington Jamboree. The trophy was awarded to the team by a
Bloomington family at our end-of-season banquet.
We’d like to thank all of our parents and volunteers that support Eden
Prairie Girls Hockey and are looking forward to a great 2009-2010 season!!
