Please see attached for copies of the 2023-2024 Registration package.
It is imperative that people get their registration forms filled out and returned as quickly as possible. We open registration to new members June 1.
Payments will not be processed until July 1st, but we will be FULL in some divisions next year and capping registration.
If a senior division player is interested in trying out for the Central Zone team, they must register with us first otherwise we can not hold them a spot.
We have reinstated the Volunteer Bond Requirement. This is included in the cost of registration and will be refunded back once a family has completed their Volunteer position and had that verified by the team Volunteer Coordinator. This year there will be a maximum fee of $200.00 per family, but families are expected to help on all of their child’s teams.
Goalie fees for U11 and up will be refunded 2023-2024 registration fees after their teams has completed their playoffs.
