NEW SEASON

The season will open on HCR on May 1st, 2022. Early bird pricing will be in effect until July 1st, 2022 and the price will increase by $100 after this date if you register late.
The registration costs will increase by $25 for U9 and above this season to compensate for the loss of a gate. The Executive will revisit this increase based on any OMHA rule changes this year.
Registration will be online and we also plan to hold an in-person registration during a Lakefield Minor Softball weekend. Keep an eye on our website for details.

COACHING APPLICATIONS

The application for coaches this year will open on May 1st. Coaching interviews will take place by Zoom. Interviews will take place the 3rd week of May.

NEW COMMITTEE

The Association created a new Committee this year - Special Events Committee. Jessica Taylor will be the lead in this brand new position and a year-end event will be planned along with other events to get our players and the community involved. The exciting "Puck Drop" event that we were planning for 2020 will be planned this season (COVID restrictions permitting) and we will have more information over the next few months. **You won't want to miss this event!**

NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING

The Executive will meet again on July 25th, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. at the Marshland Centre. We're not taking the summer off (there's no break from hockey for volunteers) but we've decided that we're much too busy organizing hockey to stop and talk about organizing hockey. If you're hoping to attend a meeting, come out on July 25th!

If you want the payment plan this season, sign up in May! The earlier you register, the more payment options you have, plus it helps us secure enough ice for the season.

Have a great summer!
