Welcome to the Rotary Hockey Family,
So... you're registered for hockey... but now what?
We have made a couple changes to our processes, so even if you are a regular player, please take a moment to read all of the information provided here.
Junior Evaluation Skate Sessions - Saturday September 21st
For players in the U8, U10 and U12 divisions (birthyears 2013 thru 2018), there will be a player evaluation skate on Saturday September 21st at the Rotary Recreation Complex. We strongly encourage all players in these ager groups to attend and take this opportunity to blow off some rust and show us what they can do. Full equipment is required.

This will give us the opportunity to evaluate each players' skills and abilities which in turn will help us try to make the teams as balanced as possible. Please attend the session according to the chart below:

The team selection committee will begin the task making up teams following the evaluation skates. Team lists will be distributed to coaches on September 25th and 26th at the coaches meetings. Following those meetings, coaches will then reach out to the players on their team. They are expected to do so as soon as possible following these meetings - but by Monday September 20th at the latest.
The U6s (2019s & 2020s) and the older U14s, U16s and U20 players do not participate in Evaluation Skates. Teams for the U14, U16 and U20 divisions are done via a player draft that will be held on September 25th. Please note that due to this format, special requests are nearly impossible to achieve. Exceptions are made for immediate family members only.
Start of 2024-2025 Season - the first day for the U6 through to U14 divisions will be on Saturday October 5th. U16s will start on Wednesday October 2nd and U20s Thursday October 3rd. All team schedules will be available on the website prior to this.
We are excited to see all those smiling faces back at the rink. If you are on Facebook or Instagram, please follow us for additional news items and other announcements. All news articles are also shared on our social media accounts.
