The Burlington Eagles are excited to announce that our
Junior Eagles program will be expanding, and we will be fielding an Under 7 MD
team for 2024/25! They will participate in the Tri-County Minor Hockey League
MD pod amongst other local centers and will play in three jamborees over the
season.
This upcoming season the Tri-County Minor Hockey League is
adding an Under 7 MD pod for teams to play in, and the Eagles will enter one
team to play against other like-skilled teams. The TCMHL will split the league based
on expected skill, and will monitor the pods throughout the season to ensure
the competition is as fair and balanced as possible.
The league will be similar to the U8 breakdown: they will
play 4v4 half-ice all season. There will be a break during the holiday season
(Dec. 23rd to Jan. 3rd ), and each team will be allowed to
enter three jamborees across the season. There will be 18 games in the
Tri-County league, and then the team will be allowed to play eight exhibition
games against opponents of their choosing throughout the year.
Evaluations for the U7 MD team will occur after Labour Day,
and will include prep skates before the evaluations start. There will be an
extra fee to attend evaluations for the MD team, so if your player does not
want to participate, it is not mandatory. The Eagles will reach out to all
players that have paid their Junior Eagles deposit for the option to register
for the MD team evaluations near the end of the summer. If you have not paid
the deposit for the Junior Eagles program you will not be contacted by the
Eagles for MD evaluations.
Once the MD team is chosen, remaining players will be re-assigned to the
Junior Eagles program that will have the same structure as the 2023/24 season.
There will be 6-8 teams that skate on Tuesday/Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday and
will receive the same instruction and skill development the Junior Eagles saw
this season.
Your deposit will go towards your total registration for the
2024-25 season, regardless of if your player is on the MD team or with the
Junior Eagles program. TO PAY YOUR JUNIOR EAGLES DEPOSIT, CLICK HERE.
