The ADM Program normally has scrimmages on Saturday mornings throughout the season. At times, teams from other local clubs in Illinois and the St. Louis area may be scheduled to come play the various Kings teams.

Players and teams in the ADM Program may also participate in scrimmages, jamborees, and tournaments located outside the Nelson Center. These are NOT mandatory and offered as additional development opportunities for the players. More information of these will come as the program begins as well as throughout the season when information and opportunities present themselves. Additional information will be given by Jacki Patterson, VP of Developmental Programs, and well as team managers throughout the season.

All players will need to purchase jerseys and socks for the program. These will be available through the PRIMO Design website link provided by SYHA once the program begins.

Players will need the following:

1. Black and white reversible jersey with the Kings logo as well as player last name and number
2. Purple jersey with Kings logo as well as player last name and number
3. Black hockey socks

Players and families will also have the opportunity to purchase Bauer warm-ups, optional themed jerseys, and Kings merchandise from PRIMO Designs through web links provided by SYHA.

The additional registration fee of $50.00 covers costs for SYHA to roster the player with Missouri Youth Hockey League as well as administrative costs associated with this.

Players may choose to participate in additional scrimmages, jamborees, and tournaments at an additional cost. Each event normally has a different cost that is divided amongst the team attending. These are NOT mandatory. More information about these opportunities will be given by Jacki Patterson, VP of Developmental Programs, as the program begins and continues as information becomes available.

Players will receive their number from Jacki Patterson, VP of Developmental Programs, at the beginning of the season.

Players returning from last season can keep their numbers if they desire.

Player numbers for new players are based on availability as well as birth year.

Players born in even years will receive an even number and players born in odd years will receive odd numbers.
