Spring League Registration - Now OPEN!

 

REGISTRATION LINK

Spring League registration is now open. It will run for five weeks from early April to early May.

Please see below for details on our updated offerings. As always numbers will dictate spring league schedules but this is the plan:

10U (2014-2015)
Spring league will remain the same for this age group and will focus on full-Ice introductory hockey.

12U (2012-2013) COED/12U & 14U Girls (2010-2013)
There will be a COED 12U season and a Girls 12U/14U season.
We have changed the 12U group to half ice 3V3. There will be two divisions of play for COED that will be broken down by similar skill levels. 3V3 hockey will allow us to continue to deepen our players' development. 3V3 encourages quick decision making, increased puck movement and shots, increased change of direction and many other aspects of the game that is appropriate for this age group. 

- The 12U 3V3 spring league will be open to Goalies at the BT (14U) level if more goalies are needed.

No Cell Phone In Locker Rooms

Per USA Hockey and MAHA: Youth hockey player cell phones are not allowed in any locker room. With most kids having cell phones with cameras, there is a risk of inappropriate photos being taken and possibly being posted on the web. Hopefully, by keeping the phones out of the locker rooms, this can be avoided.

GTHA is taking this a step further and added to the policy by specifically saying any device capable of taking pictures or video are prohibited from the locker rooms.

Thank You Stanley Cup Sponsors!
