Welcome to the 2025–2026 Season!


We’re excited to kick off another great year of hockey! As we begin, please take note of these important reminders to keep our players safe:

  • Two-Deep Rule – Dressing rooms must always have two screened adults present.
  • No Cell Phones – Phones, photos, and videos are strictly prohibited in dressing rooms.
  • Equipment Checks – Coaches and helpers must ensure players (especially U7 & U9) are wearing BNQ throat protectors and proper gear before stepping on the ice.
  • Helmet Safety – Helmets must display a valid expiry sticker, include a CSA-certified clear facial protector, and fit properly. Tinted visors are not allowed.
  • Coaching Conduct – Parents may not use earpieces to coach from the stands. Those interested in coaching should volunteer as team staff.

Thank you for your continued support in creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for all players this season!
