About SMHA U9 Division

U9 is a development program aimed at meeting these 4 outcomes:

  1. Have fun and be active
  2. Learn fundamental skills
  3. Refine those fundamental skills
  4. Cooperation and fair play

U9 Season Structure

Each team will have four ice times: 

  • Team Practice (weekly)
  • Development practice (weekly)
  • Game (weekly)

The U9 Program plays half-ice 4v4 games, with 12 full-ice games allowed after a date set by Hockey Nova Scotia, usually in February.

The exact schedules will be shared to families by Team Managers once teams are finalized.
