Practices: The XIC staff will focus most of their time on the practices we run for the Metro league. All practices will be formatted using a mix of the USA Hockey American Development Model, high end sources, and our own proprietary methods, which is proven to give each player more ice time, puck touches, and game like scenarios. Our plan is for each coach to have an assistant on the ice to run drills while the Head Coach can talk to individual players to ensure each player can improve accordingly.

League Points: All the games during the season will be accounted for in the final standings. Each win will count as 2 points, Tie is 1 point (Shootout win is 2 points), and a Loss is worth 0 points.

10U Half Ice Games:  25% of games at the 10U level are required to be half ice by CAHA. We will be exceeding the minimum amount of games required. We as an organization feel that utilizing half ice games at this level only benefits players on ice confidence and development by ensuring more puck touches, and a more level playing field of competition.

Playing Rules:  CMHA will follow USA Hockeys Playing Rules. Metro League playing rules will be sent out before the first game.

Playoffs: Playoffs will be at the end of every session and is seeded.

Equipment: At the beginning of this season, coaches will be looking at each players equipment to ensure that each player is wearing the appropriate gear. Coaches will specifically observe players’ sticks, helmets, skates, shin pads, and elbow pads. As per new USA Hockey Rules, each player will be required to have a neck guard.  Mouth guards are not required but strongly recommended by the XIC Hockey Department.
