New Names, same great levels!

May. 13, 2020

Hockey Canada has adopted a new format (similar to other sports like soccer) to name the levels that our children play in and they go by age. Here is a handy little tool to help those of you who might be new to CNN or might be confused by the new system:

U7 (Under 7) - formally called Initiation - Birth year 2014 and earlier

U9 (Under 9) - formally called Novice - Birth years 2012-2013

U11 (Under 11) - formally called Atom - Birth years 2010-2011

U13 (Under 13) - formally called Peewee - Birth years 2008-2009

U15 (Under 15) - formally called Bantam - Birth years 2006-2007

U18 (Under 18) - Formally called Midget - Birth years 2003-2005

CNN Minor Hockey © 2024

CNN Minor Hockey Association is a substantial organization with teams throughout all divisions from u7 through to u18. CNN was named after the Crowsnest Road which runs North/South between Gibbons and Bon Accord, thus creating the name Crows Nest North for our association when we combined in the late 1980â€™s. This merger between Bon Accord and Gibbons helped create a stronger athletic program for all the local hockey players of all ages in the area.
