Welcome to the U8 MD 2023/24 Season
Hello and Welcome
to the Newmarket Renegades U8 “MD” Home Page
The U8 MD team will build a strong cultural foundation for 2016 born Renegades
future success. With a focus on strong
inclusive group dynamics, skating, puck handling, and determination - to
progress both as a team and individuals.
I look forward to assembling
a driven and inspired group for the 2023-24 season.
A couple of important notes:
• All participants must register for the NMHA “Passport” prior to attending our first evaluation
• Non Resident Players (NRP) must come prepared with their NRP Passport signed off by their home association. These will be collected at sign in.
• All players are reminded to wear proper equipment per the OMHA rules. This includes mouth guards and neck protection. Players not wearing appropriate protection will not be permitted to take part in evaluations.
Pre-Evaluation Skates: There will be a series of pre-evaluation skates that will be made available. You must sign up for these through the NMHA website. These pre-evaluation skates are not part of the evaluation process and there is no mandatory attendance. These pre-skates will provide an opportunity for players to skate and mentally prepare themselves for the evaluation process.
Those dates will be:
Session #1
• September 6th – 5:30-6:30 p.m. – Magna Centre – Scotiabank Rink
• September 8th – 5:30-6:30 p.m. – Magna Centre – Scotiabank Rink
