2025-2026 U10 Coyotes
My name is Mark Read and I'm looking forward to getting things started for the 2025-26 Season.
A little background about myself. I have coached boys hockey within the Ilderton Minor Hockey Association for the past 17 years, coaching all age groups from U5-U18. This past season, I was lucky to be a part of both of my sons teams, as the Head Coach of the U11 Rep team and the Assistant Coach of the U9MD team. I am also a Board Member for Ilderton, serving as the Ice Convenor for the past 3 seasons.
As we approach the prep-skate, on May 3, and tryouts on May 4, I want to remind everyone to arrive early so I can get the players signed in and give them a practice jersey. Please bring water bottles. Encourage them to have fun, give their best effort, and support others throughout the process. Parents should only be in the locker room to tie skates. Any and all communication during tryouts will be posted to this team homepage.
In addition, I would like to briefly outline a few items below that families trying out should be aware of:
- U10A will have 2 practices per week and 1-2 games per week.
- The proposed team fee will be between $500 - $600 per player to cover the cost of tournaments, development skates/instructors and dryland training.
- The U10A Coyotes will register for a total of 4 tournaments, 1 of which will be an overnight tournament. With the possibility of qualifying for International SilverStick and the OMHA Championship (both potentially overnight tournaments).
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. I look forward to seeing all the players on the ice.
