U7 INITIATION PROGRAM 2025-26 WELCOME
Welcome to the 2025-2026 North London Nationals U7/IP program, we’re excited to see you back at the arena!!
Our season begins Saturday, September 6th (8-11am) at Carling Arena with a 1-hour Rust off/Prep skate followed by three, 1-hour evaluation skates:
Saturday, September 13th (8-11am)
Sunday, September 21st (8-11am)
Wednesday September 24th (5-7pm)
Your child will be assigned to a 1-hour ice time for each date in the above posted time range. Group assignments will be posted here at a later date, as well as e-mailed to you.
Once the evaluations are complete, skaters will be separated into three groups for the remainder of the season: Red, Blue and White. Early in the season lead coaches will assign Timbits jerseys and hockey socks, which work out to four different coloured 'teams' per group. White evaluation jerseys are exchanged for Timbit's coloured jerseys and hockey socks at this point.
Our regular season will begin Saturday, September 27th with ice times scheduled weekly on Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Take note that U7 ice times on Saturday will rotate, while
Wednesday evening ice time will be static. A typical season runs from early October to late March. Expect two, 50-minute ice times per week on Saturday and Wednesday at Carling Arena for total of 42 skates. There will typically be no ice several weeks during the season (usually Christmas and March Break).
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
