Good Morning U9 Flyers Families,

Player Groups will be shuffled following Session 2, and will be posted as soon as available to the same U9 page. Please check back regularly for updates. 

If you were unable to pick up your evaluation jersey yesterday, we will have jerseys available at the check in desk at your first group session. 

Looking forward to kicking off our 24/25 season with our U9 Flyers Families!

Good evening Sackville Minor Hockey Rec Families.

We are very excited for the coming hockey season and hope you are as well!  I would like to extend a warm welcome back and pass along a few important updates. 

Over the last several months, we have worked really hard to make the rec program one that represents the wishes of all of our members. Having said that, this was and is no easy task!  We listened to you, implemented some tweaks/adjustments and believe we have come up with a program with everyone's wants and needs in mind.  The first item that we committed to improving was the rec evaluation time. We are proud to announce that all Flyers will be hitting the ice at the same time this year!  That means that we will be conducting our rec evaluations alongside the competitive tryouts. The players who have signed up for rec will only be in groups with other rec players and will then be joined by those released to rec at the conclusion of the tryouts. All rec evals and competitive tryouts will finish together and initial player placements to teams will happen simultaneously!

There will be a short balancing period to make sure all our rec teams are as evenly matched as possible, where some player movement can happen. Once we are set, we get going with the season! We wish all of the players in the tryout process the best of luck. Please know that for those players who come back to us, we are extremely glad to have you, and we remain focused on providing you with the opportunity to grow and improve your skills at the rec level. We have worked with our development team to come up with a new hybrid development model that will continue to provide individual and team development for all of our players and coaches.  

The next important step in this process begins this weekend with the pick up of your player evaluation jerseys. You will keep these jerseys for the duration of the evaluations and hand them in at the end.

   Please note the following jersey pick up dates and times:

•      U11 Rec    Sunday    Sept 22,   2:00-3:30 pm Arena Mezz 
•      U13 Rec    Saturday Sept 21,   4:00-5:30 pm  Arena Mezz
•      U15 Rec    Saturday Sept 21,    4:00-5:30 pm  Arena Mezz
•      U18 Rec    Saturday Sept 21,    4:00-5:30 pm  Arena Mezz
•      U23 Rec   TBA

The evaluations themselves are set to begin On SATURDAY SEPT 28th at both the Sackville Arena and the Sackville Sports Stadium. Please stay tuned for the exact dates and times of all sessions and player groupings. These will be posted in advance to the Sackville minor Hockey website over the coming days. If you have any questions, please email me at vprecraetion@flyershockey.ca

Hockey season is finally here!!! Thank you for your time, see you around the rink!
