Pre-Season Camp & Registration - Aug 30th Update

We are excited to be announcing that the Sackville Minor Hockey Association has moved to this new Website platform, hosted by GrayJay right here in the HRM! As you can imagine, with this large of a transition, there are some speed humps along the way and we appreciate your patience as we move to our new home.

We have a few updates at this point that may require your attention so please read carefully and respond where necessary.

Pre-Season Camp Registration
- Pre-Season Camp groups will be posted on Aug 31st at flyershockey.ca
- Any unpaid amounts are due immediately. Please contact "finance@flyershockey.ca" and cc "registration@flyershockey.ca" to complete payment & pre-season registration.

Regular Season & Tryout Registration - Update

  • SMH Volunteers are working hard with Hockey Canada Registration (HCR 3.0) technical team to get our registration system back online
  • There were two main issues. The first is already resolved, and the second is proving to be more of a challenge. Please stay tuned to flyershockey.ca and/or our Social Media accounts for updates. As soon as we have registration re-opened it will be posted online.
    • First - In the18hrs that regular season registration was online on August 8-9, the "Competitive Tryouts" add-on as part of Registration was making itself "Mandatory" intermittently, and not letting users unselect it. Many people were charged this in error whom are either not eligible for it due to being too young, or just not wanting to try our for competitive. Most have been refunded and it continues to be tracked closely. Any questions on this part can be directed to finance@flyershockey.ca and registration@flyershockey.ca
    • Second - We have had some issues transferring 50/50 carry over amounts between siblings. This has always has been a labour-intensive behind-the-scenes process that the accounting and registrar group has handled... however the new system lacks the same functionality that we were used to, and doesn't easily allow this movement of credits within the same family. We are working with the HCR 3.0 development and tech support team on this. This affects enough SMHA families that we want it fully functional before opening up Registration again. Rest assured that everyone's existing credits are perfectly fine - there has been no issue with the credits themselves, just our ability to move them between siblings. 
  • There will be ample time and enough spots for everyone to register for the regular season; We understand other associations have Registrations open. Hockey NS set the start of the season as October - we are not behind or late.  
  • Competitive Tryouts for U11 and up will be in early October. The Competitive U15 Checking Clinic will be in early October as well. Programming for U6 (Learn2Play) and the Evaluations for U7, U9, and +U11 Recreation will be after the Competitive Tryout process is complete, likely starting in mid-October.

Again - a huge thank you to SMHA Families! The Volunteers of Sackville Minor Hockey Association appreciate your patience while SMHA navigates these new systems and transitions.
