U8

This is Wildcat Country!

What a great season!

8U finished strong together, wrapping up the '24-'25 season at the Wildcat Jamboree on home ice. Each girl grew in skill & confidence this year. They displayed their hockey IQ with great play setup, strong passing & solid decision-making. Coaches Annie, Nicole, & Andrew developed individuals at the same time they built this team. Parents encouraged character & commitment, getting players to practices, scrimmages & events. Fans cheered & celebrated every moment. Sponsors (Scooters Grill & Bar, Ever After Nails, Center City Fire Dept, & Home Energy Center) provided attire & enabled additional jamborees.

GIRLS, you played with gusto, integrity & heart ❤️

THANK YOU, WILDCATS!

Wildcats are wrapping up a STRONG showing at the St Francis jamboree!

NO GAME TODAY (2/15). Due to a scheduling miscommunication, we will not have a have today. Sincere apologies for the confusion. See you tomorrow morning at Chisago Lakes ice arena.

Congratulations to our season Zac Strong nominee, Kennedy Wasson!

Kennedy is all heart, always checking in on her teammates (both on and off the ice) and bringing the best vibes to every practice and game. You’ll never catch her without a smile, and her dedication and leadership? Next level. She’s not just a rockstar on the ice—she’s the kind of humble, hardworking player everyone wants on their team. She elevates the locker room, pushes the pace on the ice, and makes our team better every single day. We’re lucky to have her and can’t wait to watch her keep thriving! Honestly, if you know her, you’re lucky. As you know, this award is not just about hockey; it’s about being a wholesome, all-around amazing human. And that’s simply Kennedy to a T! Thanks for making a positive imprint this season.

We are so excited to share our January Zac Strong pick: Maxine Roush.

Max is the kind of player who makes practice more fun just by showing up with her big energy and even bigger smile. Always eager to learn, always coachable, and always kind to teammates. Max brings pure excitement to our locker room and a positive attitude that’s contagious. We’re lucky to have her on the team, and we love to see her keep shining!

It's a sunny day for a drive. Come cheer your favorite 8Us in Forest Lake this afternoon at 5.

Wildcats hosted MVI Black this morning for a full-ice scrimmage. We saw some great passes and good hussle to cover the distances. It's so fun to see the girls putting together the skills and smarts to really elevate their game.

Intermission crowd-pleaser.

Scrimmage

GO WILDCATS!

CONGRATULATIONS to Brynlee Voss #21, our December Zac Strong nominee!

Meet Brynlee Voss, a true example of dedication and hard work. Regardless of the opponent, Brynlee consistently gives 110%. Her love for hockey is evident in her passion and energy on the ice every day. She is highly coachable, eager to learn, and always strives to enhance her skills. A fantastic teammate and a fierce competitor, Brynlee embodies what it means to be a great athlete.

Thanks to the amazing team who set up boards for our half-ice face-off with Stillwater 8U Black this morning. It was fun to see the girls hustling and come out on top. Well done Wildcats!

2 games, 2 victories, ONE amazing team! The girls played great games with Albert Lea and Armstrong Cooper at the Wild Mite Holiday Jamboree. They set up plays and connected passes for assists. So proud of these Wildcats!

So much excitement for today's jamboree at the X!

Sure to poor ice conditions, NO PRACTICE at Scandia tonight.

Thanks & see y'all tomorrow at the X!
