Hockey has some unusual names for the different age groups of players! No, there isn't any rhyme or reason for the designations and there doesn't seem to be a logical pattern to the names but the terms quickly become part of any hockey family's conversations. The levels are based on the player's birth year and not based on the school year or the player's physical size.

Every case is individual, and there are some children who can handle skill wise to play a level up. There are other factors to consider. Is the child at the top end of his age group, or will there be a birthday soon, to make him be close to the appropriate age? Does the child have a maturity level commensurate with the attention span and behavioral expectations of the older age group? Is there an opening at the desired age level, or would this move displace a child who should be there by age? Does moving the child from the appropriate age level leave that group without enough to run their program? The house or travel director will consider each case individually.
All parents assisting the coaches must have taken the appropriate level of the Coaching Education Program. The levels vary by age group. More details of this can be found in the Coaching Information section of the website.
There are many off-ice volunteer options, including running the clock, score-keeping, locker room monitor and team management. Contact the Director of Volunteerism at director2@quadcityhockey.com for more information or go to the Volunteer page to find out more and get signed up to help.
