President's Welcome: 2023/24 Features Recreation Development, Tryouts Feedback, and another bid for Kraft Hockeyville!

 

Please read below for a message from the President of Sackville Minor Hockey Association, Rob Nurnber:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome To The 2023-2024 Flyers Hockey Season!

 

I would like to welcome all our teams, Players, and families back for another exciting season of Flyers Hockey! The hockey piece is only one of the great opportunities for our children, it is so much more than that. The lifelong friendships and lessons that will prepare our Flyers for life after hockey, sense of community, and the health benefits are priceless.

 

Now having had the opportunity to be in the President's role for the past 6 months it has given me a much bigger appreciation for the amount of work that goes into operating our association. Along with that it has also allowed me to see all the great things we do as an association, and areas where we can make improvements for all our Flyers.

 

Here are a few updates I would like to share with our members:

 

Our VP Of Recreation Dan MacDonald and our VP Of Development John Hubley have brought back Development Sessions for our Recreation Program this season. This is a significant step forward for our program and will provide exceptional development opportunities for our players in recreation this season.

 

You will see a call out within the next few weeks for the creation of a Tryouts / Evaluation committee in which I want to include members of our association to join our board members to review the current process and policies and look to make suggestions to continue to make our tryout process the best it possibly can be.

 

As well, we will be nominating our Home Arena and our Association for Kraft Hockeyville again this year in January 2024 and will be looking for your support! Stay tuned for further details.

 

I would also like to thank all our hard-working volunteers, officials, and administrators working so hard behind the scenes, I cannot thank you all enough.

 

Finally, I would like to thank you, our member families for choosing minor hockey for your children!

 

Wishing you all a great hockey season!

 

Rob
