The 2017 NS Stars played their last exhibition games to prepare for the final tournament of their season - the Future Stars Cup. The kids bonded as teammates, practiced the skills they learned in their development sessions, and continued to learn about the rules of full-ice hockey. They competed against other kids and programs in the region over the past 2 weeks at rinks in HRM.

The 2017 NS Stars completed their 1st tournament together as a team - the Oyster Cup in Charlottetown, PEI. They had loads of fun at their 1st "away" tourney - playing games, swimming, enjoying Cows ice cream, and playing a lot of mini sticks! They competed hard and gave their best - their development was visible from the first to the last game! It is fun to watch the huge development as they progress through the season. Next up: more exhibition games and practices to prepare for the home tourney - the Future Stars Cup May 17-19 in Halifax, NS.

The 2017 NS Stars completed their first "off-ice learning" this past weekend. To prepare for their 1st tournament as a team at the upcoming Oyster Cup in PEI, the team learned about how to best prepare for games during tournaments. This included talking about the importance of balancing fun at "away" tournaments with proper rest, nutrition, and pre-game routines.

AND AWAY THEY GO! The 2017 NS Stars wrapped up their 1st week of their Spring development program today at St. Margaret's Centre! The little Stars are off to a great start with the busy Spring schedule. Coach Shane has them working hard on their skills and having fun with their new teammates!
