North SEERA U11 Hockey Program
Overview
The U11 program is designed for players born in 2015 and 2016. It’s a key developmental stage where players continue to build core skills while learning about team play, competition, and commitment.
North SEERA follows the Hockey Alberta U11 Pathway and aims to provide a supportive and challenging environment for players at all skill levels — from new skaters to experienced competitors.
North SEERA U11 teams play city-wide through the Edmonton Federation Hockey League (EFHL) and are tiered to ensure balanced competition. Depending on registration numbers, North SEERA will form several teams that compete at different levels within the U11 division.
U11 AA Pathway (Club-Level Hockey)
Starting in the 2025–26 season, U11 AA will be managed at the club level. Players wishing to try out for U11 AA must register with one of the designated clubs based on their elite boundary:
