All Squirt-aged players practice together but, depending on numbers, may be divided into A & B teams for competitive purposes. One-hour practices are typically held two to three evenings per week.

For Squirts, WSHA recommends approximately 25 games to be played throughout the season. This includes mainly local games, one hosted home tournament, and one or more away tournaments. Typically games are played on Saturdays and Sundays, but can have some Friday afternoon games depending on ice time.

One set of Home and Away jerseys will be provided by the association, along with one pair of game socks.

In order for your child to play hockey, they will need to wear equipment. West Salem Hockey Association has a robust equipment rental program. If your skater does not have their own equipment, WSHA can get them started. There will be small costs including but not limited to: mouth guards, skate sharpening's, tape, etc.
