Hello West Niagara Families, The upcoming
Hockey Season is quickly approaching and I thought I would pass along
some important information.
As some of you may already know the schedule has
already been posted on the website https://westniagaraminorhockey.ca This is the most accurate source of
information as it is updated constantly. Our start date for local
league is Monday September 18. Evaluation skates will begin and we will start
the process for balancing teams. We will use the first 2 weeks as evaluations
and split teams after this. The regular season games start date will
be the second week of October.
Although we will try our best to accommodate all
friend requests our ultimate goal is even team balance for competitiveness in
each age group. We will be limiting team roster sizes again this season in
order to allow equal and ample playing time for all participants. If we are
over in any age group, players will be chosen by registration date stamp and if
not willing to play out of a different arena with a smaller team size they will
be put on a waiting list, refunds will be given if necessary.
Players that are registered in Grimsby for U11
and U13 will be split alphabetically by last name for the open skates.
U11 G1 &
G2 will be last names A-H and G3 & G4 will be I-Z
U13
G1 will be last names A-H and
U13 G2 will be I-Z
This does not mean these are the teams, it's
just too many kids to have on the ice all at once.
If you have any questions you can reach out to
myself or the convenor for your corresponding age group and arena location.
