For age groups 8 and under, membership in FHA is granted based on basic skills and openings. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any question you may have in regards to youth hockey. FHA embraces the American Development Model (ADM) which provides age-appropriate guidelines and curriculum to hockey associations across America to help more kids play, love and excel in hockey. Brought to you by USA Hockey, in partnership with the NHL. FHA adopted ADM at the U8 level beginning with the 2010 - 2011 hockey season. FHA supports the ADM program and firmly believes that our U8 players are already beginning to show the benefits of the program. FHA also began instituting ADM practices on a weekly basis for Squirt travel teams in 2010 - 2011 and plans to expand these skates to encompass additional age levels as well. We are proud to call the Edge Ice Arena our home arena: The Edge is a year-round facility with two NHL size ice surfaces, eight locker rooms, party/community rooms, a concession stand and a full service pro-shop. www.foothillshockey.org
