What rink are they playing out of? Only Squirt 09’s? If only on weekends how much time will they have for practices - sounds like a tournament team, younger players especially need repetition for skill development

I'll bite. The Facebook page says 6-8 hrs per week of individualized training. How? If practice is on Fridays and games on Saturdays and Sundays where does the instruction time come into play?

Weekend model means games on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning scheduling as opposed to scheduling late afternoon, early evening on weekends.

Honestly I don’t mind weeknight practices. Wife does most of the driving, and would rather have my kid on the ice and Dryland than spending any more time on Fortnite than he would as it is. Weekends are busy enough as it is. Would rather be able to se my kid and have more family time when home on weekends

Complete scam! This is a made up tournament team. There is no other further information (i.e. Home Rink, Coaches, Trainers, or actual Program Model laid out). I'd say buyer beware! Sounds like a dad forming an independent team for his kid(s) because they weren't happy with their current club or affiliation. Hence only a 2009 level team. I've seen this song and dance before.
