The Under 16 Girls MK Storm Junior Ice Hockey Team welcomes girls following a successful try-out.
To be eligible for WNIHL U16, players need to be aged 10 on the date of the fixture, with the exception of female netminders who must be 9 on the date of the fixture. Payers may train with a WNIHL U16 team from age 8 (on the date of the training session) but may only participate in drills.

Under 16 Girls Off Ice Training
We have put an Off-Ice Training programme together for MK Storm U16’s with supporting videos from Hockey Training.com.
The video links shared through out our training programme are to show you and your child how to do the moves correctly. Accuracy is the key when learning a new skill/technique.
Please ensure that your child is careful whilst learning the movements and using their body in different ways.
Some children will be able to pick them up quickly and others will take time to develop them.
There is no rush or expectation that all children will be able to do all of this.
