We wanted to let you know that we are making an adjustment and returning to the original plan for the U11 teams on April 1st which means the U13 banquet will be on April 2nd. We understand this may cause some inconvenience and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding.
 
In the planning for the U11 and U13 teams, we carefully considered the availability of the majority of players and have worked to find a time that best accommodates as many as possible. Thank you for your flexibility as we worked through the scheduling process. 
 
April 1st - 5:30-6:40pm 
 U11A
 U11 Sharks
 U11AA Black
 U11 Bruins
 
April 1st - 7:00-8:10pm

Reminder that all events will be held at the Beaver Bank Kinsac Community Centre (1583 Beaver Bank Rd) and due to capacity restrictions the banquet is limited to players, team manager, head coach(es) and assistant coaches only. Unfortunately, family members cannot attend the banquet as attendees.

We have come a long way Kraft Hockeyville but still work to be done! - A message from our President

I would like to first send out a heartfelt congratulations to our community as we are very excited to claim a Top 4 spot in Kraft Hockeyville!

One winner will be selected for the grand prize of $250,000 to be used towards arena upgrades and will have an opportunity to host an NHL pre-season game. We of course, hope we can all come together to make sure we bring this home to our Sackville Arena! 
 
By placing top 4 we have already guaranteed the Sackville Arena $25,000 for arena upgrades, and all top four communities will be given $10,000 in new hockey equipment, courtesy of NHLPA Goals & Dreams.

It is hard to believe that November 7th, 2023 was when I sent a communication to our membership that I would be creating a Kraft Hockeyville Committee and would be putting out a call later in the season for expressions of interest to join our Kraft Hockeyville Committee. It seems like yesterday.

On January 7th, 2024 I then put a call out to our membership for expression of interest to be on the Kraft Hockeyville committee I would be forming. The interest was exceptional and on Wednesday March the 27th I sent a welcome communication to those who would form our Kraft Hockeyville Committee for our bid that I would place on January 1st 2025 for our beloved Sackville Arena.
 
As the committee chair and President of our association I could not have asked for a better group of individuals to be on our committee. Each and every one of our committee members have all played a pivotal role in our success thus far in making it to the final 4 for the 2025 Kraft Hockeyville Crown! The time and dedication each of these individuals has put in has been well beyond expectations. What we see as a community is only a small part of all their combined efforts. 
 
I want to take a moment to thank our committee members as the Chair of our committee on behalf of our community and our association from the bottom of my heart. Without your dedication and commitment to see this journey through, we simply would not be where we are today. You all deserve to be recognized for your contributions.
 
With heartfelt appreciation I want to acknowledge the following individuals for everything you have given each day over the past year for our bid. 
 
Joining me on the committee:
 
Amber Davis
Allison Deveau
Andy Deveau
Chris Fraser
Kim Gray
Angela Pennell
Collen Richards
Sharlene Salter
 
As well to all the individuals who reached out with ideas or joined our open sessions, thank you so much! To all of you that joined us for our Rally Day and our events, thank you for supporting our bid!
 
To all of our rally sponsors, without your support this would not have been possible as well, our community thanks you for your very generous support! We will continue to promote your businesses rest assured.
 
We have come so far, let's all band together and on April 4th and April 5th bring the win home where it belongs! Sackville Is Hockeyville!
