U18 Pre-Season Update

Due to registration numbers in other divisions, we have been able to move an ice time and open up a pre-season clinic for our U18 division!

Registration is currently open! We have 26 spots available, so be sure to register soon to secure your player’s spot.

Register here: U18 Pre-Season Skills (PLAYERS ONLY) | GrayJay Pay

A U18 Pre-Season page has been added to our Flyers webpage under Pre-Season Camps and Clinics with current ice times.

As a reminder, Pre-Season groups will be posted on August 27th. Anyone registering after that date will be added to a group if space allows, however you must contact Kim Gray at vpoperations@flyershockey.ca to ensure your player is added to a group before pre-season starts. 

We’re excited to get our U18 players back on the ice!

SMHA Financial Aid Options

SMHA would like to remind you of some of the different funding options available to help pay for registration and team fees. There is KidSport Canada, Jump Start, Hockey Canada Foundation - Assist Fund, Grindstone Award and of course our SMHA Players Assistance Fund.

The guidelines for all funding programs are different. You may not qualify for one, but you could potentially qualify for another, so check them all out.

If you are submitting an application for Financial Aid to any of the sources noted above, please complete regular season registration before the September 11th Registration Deadline and select EMT as the payment type. Please forward any Financial Aid approval emails or letters to Tara Amirault at Finance@FlyersHockey.ca. All information will remain confidential.

Please visit our Financial Aid page for more information under the Registration tab of our Flyers website. 

We look forward to welcoming our Sackville Minor players and families back to the rink for our upcoming 2026/27 season!
