We see the NWWarriors as a later in the year option as well. I've mostly been using Google search and the Calgary Flames Try Hockey webpage, but wondering if anyone has any other suggestions we could look at?
If we do decide to go with NWW, is there anything we can get him into skating wise until then? I know there's a wealth of hockey people on here, so appreciate the help/advice.

i have no clue about stuff in calgary but being that your son is 9 and a beginner skater i would really suggest to also add in power skating. my son is 10 (turning 11 this summer) and does power skating in the summers. it helps a TON and he is usually one of the strongest skaters on his team every year.
