Referee Development Opportunity

A Message from Todd Thomander, our Referee in Chief
 
Sackville Minor Hockey has had a long history of producing some of the top hockey officials in the province. As many of you know, one of our alumni is a current NHL official, but we also have many current and former QMJHL officials as well.
 
This is my 4th year as RIC for SMH and during my time, I have seen some great young kids move on to do higher levels of hockey, which is always the goal. Hockey players have a goal of moving on to higher levels, and referees have those same kind of opportunities. 

I am reaching out to all current U15/U18 players in our organization, for anyone who wants to learn more about refereeing and have the opportunity to ask questions to current officials, at various levels. 
 
Saturday, March 26th - Sackville Arena
 
9:30-10:45am Mezzanine. Presentation / Question & Answer
11am-12pm On ice Session. Puck drop / Offside / Icing
 
Please email me at RIC@FlyersHockey.ca with your Name, Age, Current Team if you are interested in attending this session, just to learn more about Officiating and the opportunities available.

Thank You

Hockey Nova Scotia Update

Hello Members,

Please see the following uodate from Hockey Nova Scotia

 

 

Good evening everyone,

 

Earlier today, the province announced that beginning next week, COVID-19 restrictions will be eased over three phases. To read the complete release from the province, please click here.

 

Phase 1 will begin at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, Feb, 14 and the following restrictions impacting hockey will go into effect:

 

  • Groups of up to 60 are now permitted in the field of play.
  • Teams can have practices and regular league games (see explanation below).
  • Competition is limited to regular league games. This refers to the current league that your team is playing in. If a game is part of your team’s regular league or competitive schedule, it is allowed. Bringing together teams that typically do not play one another is not allowed.
  • Tournaments are still not permitted.
  • Physical distancing is not required in the field of play; masks are recommended at all times when not on the ice surface.
  • Spectators are allowed up to the formal gathering limit; the formal gathering limit for gatherings is 50 per cent of capacity indoors. Capacities will vary by facility. Please check with your local rink. (NOTE: While today’s press release states that fitness, recreation and leisure businesses and organizations can operate at 75 per cent capacity and references arenas, we have clarified with the province that this section does not apply to hockey or spectators at a hockey game).

 

We know today’s update will be welcome news for our members as we return to game action. We are hopeful that we will continue to trend in the right direction. Phase 1 is the first step in a three phase reopening plan and each phase is expected to last about a month. We understand that the situation will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis and we will provide more information to you as soon as we have it.

 

We will also be providing an update later this month on how this will impact the remainder of the season (including provincial tournaments and other events).

 

Please continue to follow the protocols and thank you all for your continued support. As always, we appreciate your efforts and commitment to keeping everyone on the ice.

 

Sincerely,

 

Amy Walsh
