Welcome
Welcome to the U10 Seeded home page, my name is Grant Priddle and I will be the head coach of the U10 seeded team.   I’m very excited to work with the 2016’s for the 25/26 hockey season. The season will be focused on skill development, team building and learning the fundamentals of hockey.  This will be achieved through many modalities provided by KMHA and team specific programs.
