U8 Supplemental Practices

Take the next step in your player's development with EDP's U8 Supplemental Skills Series program for the 2026-27 season. EDP's U8 Supplemental Skill Series is built for motivated mite-age players who want extra skill development beyond their regular team training. This program gives families a structured, development-first way to add high-quality reps with EDP coaches with 1-2 additional practices a week and at least 15 hours of training from September through December 2026.

Training will be a mix of mite-only sessions at the Mastodon studio rink with select full-ice practices alongside our Squirt team. The exact schedule will vary as we get into the regular season, but the goal is consistent, quality reps and coaching with progression-based and professionally led practices, focused on skating, puck control, balance, coordination and breaking skills down into the components that transfer directly to higher levels and real games. Full-ice weekend practices at Chiller and/or Lou & Gibb will build on this foundation by exposing the players to more speed, space, and pace while keeping the coaching appropriate for U8 athletes.

This is a supplemental program, not a replacement for your player’s current team. The goal is simple: better habits, stronger fundamentals, and more confidence before U10 hockey. This is a development-first option for families who want more quality practice time without replacing their current team experience
