The U6 Termites level focuses on FUN! The main focus of U6 is getting the kids moving with confidence on the ice, while introducing other core individual skills. Team play is not emphasized, this group's emphasis is individual skill confidence, laying the ground work for U8 Mites.
U6 Termites is offered in two separate sessions. Typically families will register for both.
'24-'25 Registration Fees: $75 per 6 wk session, $150 for both + USA Hockey Fees ($15)
