Hello U9 Bobcat Families! Welcome back to another exciting season of Bobcat Hockey. If you are new to the zone, or hockey in general, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have — I am here to help.

Pre-skate sessions are handled by SMHA this year, and will be running from September 7-17, 2026. All registered U9 players will be offered four skill sessions prior to formal evaluations. Registration for pre-skates opens on Monday, August 24, 2026. For complete details, please visit the SMHA webpage here.
 

2026-27 EVALUATION SCHEDULE

NOTE: Please check back for your player's name below; groups will be determined in the next couple of weeks. If your player is not on this list 24 hours prior to the first skate, or if they are dealing with an injury and unable to complete the evaluation skate, please email me immediately.

EVALUATION PROCESS

  • NO SPRING GEAR - no spring helmets/gloves/socks/stickers - players may be asked to leave the ice if we see spring gear on the ice and will miss a portion of their evaluation. 
  • There will be two skills sessions and two scrimmage sessions that are evaluated for tiering purposes for each player.
  • Jersey assignments for each player will be posted on dressing room doors, please ensure you have the correct jersey number. 
  • Please leave your assigned jersey in the dressing room after each skate. DO NOT keep the jersey for the next evaluation.
  • New groups  will be assigned after each skate based on evaluation scores. I will post the updated groups as soon as possible, thank you in advance for your patience.
  • Drafts will happen as quickly as possible following the final evaluation scrimmage, based on availability of coaches to attend drafts. 
  • Once the draft has been completed, coaches will receive contact information for their teams and they will reach out to their players at their earliest convenience. 

Thanks,
