Message from VP Recreation: Rec Coaches Meeting - Thurs, Oct 5 @ Arena Mezz

Hello Sackville Minor Rec Families, 

With competitive tryouts ramping up, it will soon be time for the recreational teams to get underway as well.  It's an exciting, yet very busy time of the year and we hope to make things as easy on everybody as possible.  I would like to send out a friendly reminder that our evaluations will begin on the weekend of Oct 7th. Jersey handout dates and times will be posted ahead of the evaluation weeknd. Please remember that the evaluations are done to help us in the team balancing process. These are not tryouts and everybody will be placed on a team. The practices and scrimmages are meant to be fun, and a great way to get the players back on the ice . In the event your player cannot make a session please don't worry about it. We will do our best to get feedback from previous coaches and other members that know your player and they will be given an appropriate evaluation based on that info. 
 
For anybody that may possibly be considering coaching in rec this year, head coaches, assistant coaches, on ice helpers, we will be hosting a coaches info session on THURSDAY OCT 5th from 6:30-8:00pm in the Arena mezz. Please do your best to attend this meeting. There will be some very important topics of discussion regarding coaching certifications and updated Hockey Canada/Hockey Nova Scotia guidelines. Come with your fully charged mobile or handheld device, as our Registrar, Helen Scammell and VP of Risk Management, Craig Foley will be in attendance to walk us through our HCR accounts.  We ask that even if your player is still in Competitive tryouts but you may be in Rec hockey to please attend.  
 
Please note: There will be further sessions for team managers and treasurers in the coming weeks once teams are assembled.  I've always said, that you folks have the hardest jobs of all, so we look forward to meeting with you soon as well.  
 
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to fire off an email and i'll do my best to answer your question. 
 
Thank you for your time.

URGENT SCHEDULE CHANGE for TONIGHT - U13 Pre-Season Grp 1- S4 CANCELLED

There is a leak at the Sackville Sports Stadium, and SMHA cannot use the Sports Stadium for the U13 AAA Session #3 tonight from 8p-9:30p. We are aware there are already players arriving at the Stadium to get ready for this ice time. 

 

This is an **URGENT** last-minute change, as we absolutely must stay on-schedule for the U13 AAA Tryouts.
The U13 Pre-Season Camp (Group 1 - Session 4) scheduled for tonight at the Sackville Arena from 8:30p;10:00p is CANCELLED (it will be rescheduled ASAP).
U13 AAA Tryout - Session #3 - is urgently relocating from Sackville Sports Stadium to Sackville Arena for an 8:30pm Start

Massive apologies for the last-minute notice, as we simply must reassign that ice to the U13 AAA Tryouts or everything will be misaligned for U13 Comp Tryouts this weekend.

 

Stay Tuned.
