HER. NORTH

The Wheatland HER. Competitive Spring Program is evolving for 2027, with a stronger focus on long-term development, team identity, and athlete preparation before tournament season even begins.

 

Rather than forming solely for spring competition, HER. Spring Teams will now begin their development process through participation in our Wheatland Winter Development Program running January through the end of March. Athletes will train, develop, and build chemistry alongside their spring teammates prior to entering competition season.

 

Designed for players seeking a competitive, development-first spring hockey experience, the HER. program combines purposeful skill development, structured team practices, tournament play, mentorship, and strong coaching support in a positive, athlete-focused environment.

 

Tournament teams will be offered for U9 and U11 age groups.

 

For 2027, all HER. teams will continue to have dedicated Wheatland staff support throughout the season to help ensure consistent development standards, communication, mentorship, and athlete experience across every age group.
