X-ice Program
The Saugerties Youth Hockey X-ice program is for the younger players ready for team play. This program is designed to focus on team and individual game play, with small sided (3 vs. 3) games in a cross-ice format.
USA Hockey is a strong proponent of X-ice and has released the new American Development Model (ADM) for hockey. The ADM is a method of building hockey skills in younger players by reducing the size of the ice sheet and increasing the amount of play and players in game situations.
*Friday, November 4, 2011: First X-ice 5:45-6:45pm
**If your child has completed Learn to Skate and is 6 years or older we recommend moving to X-ice**
The X-ice fee is $250 per player. All players must also register with USA Hockey and the cost is $30 (except birth year 2005 and after).
Sessions are Fridays at 5:45-6:45pm and Sundays at 5:15-6:15pm. The season runs until March.
