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 highly recommend the Flames First Shift Program.

Amazing program. Includes your equipment. Ice times are once a week at a set time and location, and you can continue on to Jr. Flames during the same winter. My girls did it last year and we loved it. I also coached in it.
