For the 2026- 2027 season, the Western Branches of Hockey Canada – BC Hockey, Hockey Alberta, Hockey Saskatchewan, Hockey Manitoba, and Hockey North – will be producing a monthly newsletter for Under-9 (U9) and Under-11 (U11) coaches as part of the U9/U11 Development Support Program! The monthly newsletter will include supplemental U9/U11-specific resources to help coaches as they deliver their own, unique local hockey program and help first-year U9/U11 players successfully transition from half-ice to full-ice.
