We will play all our fall-winter games only on Saturday’s at the East Soccer Centre. We’ll run games starting at 8:45am and will go until 6:45pm.
We will rotate start times for the teams so that all teams have fair schedules and slots. All teams will play once a week, and games are squeezed into 1-hour game slots.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED
Mandatory equipment that is needed for Minor ball hockey includes a C.S.A. approved helmet with full face shield (just like ice-hockey), hockey gloves, and some sort of shin protection. Other equipment that is not mandatory but we do suggest … elbow pads, knee pads, protective cup for boys, “Jill” protector for girls. Our goalies must wear full equipment … including a CSA approved mask & helmet. Street hockey masks are NOT acceptable, as they are not safe for the kids.
OTHER NOTES:
A $25.00 fee will be in effect for all NSF cheques. Refund policy for the league is if you register your child and then decide not to play before the league starts, the league will only refund you 50% of the registration fee. Once the season starts there will be no refunds … we are always looking for coaches and assistant coaches for all teams. If you are interested, please let us know when you register your child.
