u18 evaluation volunteers
All, as always we will need volunteers to help with evaluations. For the skills skate we will need 5 on ice help for each session, there will be a lead on ice instructor from Sports Evaluations. For the 3 games we will need 4 bench volunteers (2 per bench) and 1 time clock volunteer. Bench volunteers ARE NOT COACHES, we ask that you open and close the gate for kids and keep the bench organized ensuring equal playing time. Ideally you are not on the same bench as you player. We do not need more than 2 volunteers per bench.
Please sign up here to volunteer.
PLEASE LOOK AT THE IMPORTANT DATES PAGE FOR PREP SKATE AND EVALUATION DATES!
GROUPINGS FOR PREP SKATES AND EVALUATIONS WILL BE EMAILED OUT CLOSER TO THE START DATES!

U18 TIERED DIVISION INFORMATION
The U18 Division is comprised of players that are 15 - 17 years old as of Dec 31, 2026.
The U18 Division evaluations will start once the PAC U16AA, U17AAA & U18AAA/AA are near completion. Once evaluations are completed, participants will be placed on a team based on their evaluations rankings.
The U18 Division generally has one practice which could be any day of the week and one game per week, but more ice can be picked up by the coach and manager.
U18 Tiered teams participate in the EFHL league for game play during the season which typically runs the third weekend in October to the second weekend in March.
Full hockey player equipment is required for all sessions.
