8 and Under Hockey
Hyland Hills Hockey Association's 8U program is based on USA Hockey's American Development Model where player FUNdamental skill development is the focus.
This program is for players who turn 8 during this calendar year (2017 Birth Year) or younger and have some skating ability.
Part 1: 8U Skills Development and Evaluation Sessions
September 3rd through September 29th, players begin skating/practicing and are evaluated to determine what level they are best suited. The foundation for player evaluations is age followed by skill level.
Part 2: 8U Team Formations
Players are assigned to teams by October 1st.

Registration Insurance
We understand that unexpected events can sometimes prevent your child from completing their season. HHHA has a Zero Refund Policy. The past few years we have offered sports fee insurance through USSCI. In March 2025 USSCI was acquired by Vertical Insure. This season, you’ll have the option to add the same great Registration Protection during registration, through Vertical Insure!
This insurance covers your fees if your athlete can’t participate due to injury, illness, job loss, relocation, military duty, or the death of an athlete or parent.

This has saved families in the past, and we strongly urge every parent to get covered!
