10U Squirt Travel Teams

The Avon Hockey 2026-2027 10U Squirt Travel Program is designed to introduce players to a more competitive level of youth hockey while continuing to build strong fundamentals. At the 10U level, players further develop their skating, puck control, positioning, and teamwork through structured practices and competitive gameplay. This stage emphasizes skill progression, game awareness, and fostering a passion for the sport in a team-oriented environment.

Players in the 10U Travel Program typically participate in two practices per week and two games over the weekend, providing consistent ice time and valuable opportunities for development throughout the season.

The season runs September through March, with the primary home rink located on the campus of Avon Old Farms School. During the season, some practices may also be held at the International Skating Center of Connecticut.

Avon Hockey is committed to providing a positive, competitive, and development-focused experience that supports the growth of young athletes both on and off the ice, helping players build confidence, discipline, and a lifelong love for the game.
