So my Minor Peewee team is in the semi-finals game four...

In minor hockey here, it works like this:

- Minor Atom (9 turning 10)

Anyhow, I'm off to the game... been nervous all day for the guys, had both my goaltenders over at the house last night for a meal and some talk. Wish us luck!

The age groups RIAL described were his own local association's groups. Hockey Canada recognizes the following..

Initiation (5-6)
Novice (7-8)
Atom (9-10)
Peewee (11-12)
Bantam (13-14)
Midget (15-17)
Juvenile (18-20)

Associations may add to the group restrictions (such as RIAL's association splitting up 1st and 2nd year peewees), and not all associations have a Juvenile division. My local association put a minimum number of 60 juvenile players that needed to be registered or else it's to the mens rec leagues for them.
