Spring 8U

The OJG Girls program is a strong believer in the USA Hockey "ADM" style of hockey development. As such, we typically play half ice hockey using blue pucks. We typically do not have set goalies, we have girls try all positions which includes testing out the goalie position. Later in the season, some girls will gravitate towards goalie and play it more often.

Ages

The 8U birth years for the new season are 2017 (older birth year) and 2018 (younger birth year).


2019s can still register, and may be grouped onto a separate 6U team if we get the numbers.

When

Spring season runs through April and May.


Ideally we will have one ice sheet on a weeknight and one on the weekend.

Where

OJG Girls home rink is Buffalo Wild Wings Arena in Troy.


Overflow rinks are needed on occasion, and may include John Lindell (Royal Oak), Big Boy Arena (Fraser), or other arenas.

Practices

We do not yet have the spring ice schedule.

Games

Anticipate playing in the MGHL Spring Showcase (April 25 - 27 at Biggby Ice Cube Brighton, formerly KV Icehouse) as well as some home games (on practice time) and some away games (on other teams ice schedule).

Jerseys

We likely will not buy jerseys for spring. If we do, it will be as needed and at a slight additional cost.

Extra Costs

There are no additional costs anticipated for 8U at this time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my daughter plays other spring sports and has conflicts?

We expect girls to be playing other sports in Spring, so conflicts are not an issue.


We try to have enough skates (practices + games) so that the spring season still represents a good value and development opportunity even with some absences.
