All Supermites and U8 skaters will be evaluated using the Hockey Education Program (HEP). HEP evaluations are NOT a tryout. HEP is a series of 5 skating drills each of which are timed. We record and add the best time for each drill to give a cumulative score. We use this data to track skill development from fall to spring as well as help aid team formations. With regards to team formations, our 2 goals are to:
- Place skaters at an appropriate level to maximize their skill development
- Build teams by elementary school while trying to keep HEP scores balanced across teams.
