The U9MD team brought the energy to the rink this week for their very first Skills Competition practice! The players rotated through a series of challenges designed to test their speed, accuracy, puck control, and agility, all while having a blast cheering each other on.
The goal of the competition isn’t just bragging rights (though there were definitely some proud smiles and playful rivalries!). It’s also a fun way to track progress throughout the season. The coaches recorded times and scores for each event, giving the players a baseline to see how their hard work pays off in the months ahead.
From lightning-fast laps to precise shooting, every player gave their best effort and showed great sportsmanship. It was awesome to see how much enthusiasm they brought to the ice, proof that learning and improving can be just as fun as game day.
We can’t wait to see how their skills develop as the season goes on. Keep skating hard, U9MD, the next round of competition is going to be even more exciting! 🏒⭐
