National Development U10 Jamboree- Fife Ice Arena 22nd April 08:45am – £5 entry
The Scotland National Development programme are excited to announce the first NDD U10 Jamboree being hosted in Fife Ice Arena.
The Jamboree which is organised by the U10 National coaching team s a fantastic finish to what has been a well-attended session all year. The U10 programme was initiated at the start of this season to be incorporated into the Scotland National team Pathway. It allows the coaching team to evaluate and assess the talent in our U10 development that can then progress into the Scotland U12 team.
Head of Development for for Scottish Ice Hockey, Martyn King, said, “It has been a real triumph with over 50 U10 kids attending each National development day (NDD) run in Dumfries Ice Bowl. It gives the kids at a young age an insight into the Scotland programme and helps prepare them for transitioning into the full age group teams. The coaches have done a great job introducing this programme and its success is down to all their hard work.”
The format will be as follows:-
• 2 games running simultaneously with a 2/3 and 1/3 format of ice split.
• On the 2/3 ice we will have the 2023/2024 Scotland Prospects game with 2 teams that will battle it out in a best of 3 series with each game being 2 x 10min periods. There will be 22 players and goalies included in this game.
• On the 1/3 ice we will have the Future Prospects game in a x-ice format with 3 teams playing in a round robin format playing each other twice. 28 players + goalies will be playing in this game.
• This is a great opportunity for all of the players attending this years NDD sessions to showcase their skills in a game format. All of the kids have been invited through attendance of the NDD days.
Please note the last NDD of the year will take place on Monday 1st May 2023
