The Surrey Falcons are hosting a U11 Transition Skate in order to introduce and assist players as they graduate from cross-ice to full-ice hockey. All players in U11 will be following the Hockey Canada U11 Pathway. Part of the U11 Pathway is a series of preparation skates which must take place prior to the start of any tryouts or evaluations.

 

The goal of the U11 Transition Skate is to ensure that players entering their first year of U11 are equipped with the skills and knowledge to adapt to a full ice surface. These include:

• Stoppage/Start of Play – Foundations of Full Ice Gameplay
• Spatial Awareness – Defensive and Offensive Zone Concepts
• Rule Adjustment – Offside and Icing
• Maintaining Game Flow – Changing on the Fly

 

Evaluations will begin after the end of the pathway skates for each group.

Full gear is required for the pathway skates, and any jersey the player wants to wear can be worn.

 

Date: 2024/2025 Evaluations Schedule
Time:  please see schedule above
Location:  Surrey Sport & Leisure Center and Cloverdale Arena
