U11 FEMALE ELITE COMES TO SHERWOOD PARK

For the 2025-26 hockey season, SPS Fuzion and Sherwood Park Junior Kings have partnered
to bring you the inaugural season of U11 Female Elite hockey. Both SPS Fuzion and SPMHA
are committed to providing a comprehensive development program for players who want to
reach elite hockey and stay within their hockey community. The focus of the program is to
implement added focus on Coach and Player development to the existing U11 Female
Program. SPS Fuzion, Junior Kings and several other EFHL members have recognized the
value in an enhanced female development model for U11, resulting in the creation of our
Fuzion Junior Kings program.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Program Structure

The U11 Female Elite program will include 16-17 players. The U11 Female Elite team will
play in the EFHL and be classified in the appropriate tier to ensure a strong competitive
balance and level of competition.

Coach Selection

To aid in season preparation, an internal decision was made to announce the U11 Female
Elite coaches prior to the start of the season as opposed to near the end of the evaluation
period.

Player Selection

Team formation will be based on players' abilities. Players will be evaluated using the data
collected from the evaluation process. The named coach will work with board members to
finalize roster selections.

Development Opportunities

Priority focus is on additional player development through third-party skills providers
including, but not limited to, power skating, goalie training & physical literacy. The number
of full-ice practices and development hours will increase in addition to off-ice
opportunities.

Apparel Package

Players will receive a Fuzion Junior kings apparel package.

Community Engagement

Continued focus on community engagement will occur through volunteering and the
Apprenticeship Program, which engages our Fuzion Junior Kings players with members of
SPKAC.
