SMHA is proud to announce we have just finalized a pre-season goalie camp for our upcoming 2024/25 season.

5 Goalie Sessions at the cost of $125.00 will include the below:

• 3 Sessions with just goalies 
  • September 4, 2024 – 7:00pm Sackville Sports Stadium
  • September 11, 2024 – 7:00pm Sackville Sports Stadium
  • September 18, 2024 – 7:00pm Sackville Sports Stadium
• 2 Sessions joining in with the players (Goalie coaches will be available for instruction)
  • Player/Goalie session dates will be announced closer to September as we place based on division

In addition to the above goalie sessions, goalies are welcome to attend all 5 pre-season player camps in your division, as the players will need goalies to shoot on.

If you would like to register, please e-mail registration@flyershockey.ca and we will complete your registration. If you have already signed up for pre-season camp as a goalie, we will automatically move you over to the new goalie camp.

As this camp was just finalized, please register right away! Deadline for registration is Friday, August 30^th at 11:59pm.
