Sackville Minor Power Skating & Defense Camp

We have received an amazing amount of positive feedback and interest for both the Power Skating & Defense sessions. 

  • $20.00 per session for power skating or defense
  • Defense - U9 and up
  • Power Skating - U11 and up, as U9 has power skating built into their current sessions. 

SMHA has set up an online store in HCR to sign up for the first 2 weeks. The store will open at 7:00pm tonight, October 18th with the option to register for any of the following sessions:

  • Oct 22 - Power Skating - RBC Centre 4:00-5:30pm 
  • Oct 27 - Defense - ECV 7:00-8:30am
  • Oct 29 - Power Skating - RBC Centre 4:00-5:30pm 
  • Nov 3 - Defense - ECV 7:00-8:30am

https://page.spordle.com/sackville-mha/register

Following the above 2 weeks, the HCR store will open up every Thursday at 7:00pm for the following week's sessions and will close after the limit of 25 players per session has been reached. 

Registration can only be paid via credit card (processing fees apply) or by prior year 50/50 credits.

Current 2024/25 season's 50/50 credits cannot be used to pay for these camps. Please keep this in mind when your team asks how much credit you would like transferred to the team budget this year.

If you have any questions, or require help with registration for the above sessions, please email Heather Doucet at Registration@FlyersHockey.ca

Gathering interest in Defense Camp & Launching Power Skating Clinic

Defense Camp Interest 

One of our new initiatives this season is to host a defense camp.   We are looking to gage interest in the number of players that would like to take part in a weekly Sackville Defense Camp.  

  • All Divisions 
  • 25 players max per session 
  • Cost: $20.00 per session  
  • 1.5 hours of ice time per session  
  • Sundays from 7:00-8:30am @ East Coast Varsity 

At this time, we are just looking to see how many players are interested and then we will roll out a plan to move forward.  

Please email Angela Pennell at Communications@FlyersHockey.ca if interested with player name and division.  

 

Sackville Power Skating Clinic 

SMHA is launching a weekly power skating clinic. The clinic will be run by our Development Group. Players will sign up on a weekly basis, so there is no need for weekly commitment. 

The first clinic will take place on Tuesday, October 29th, 2024.  

  • U11-U18 Divisions  
  • 25 players max per session 
  • Cost: $20.00 per session  
  • 1.5 hours of ice time per session  
  • Tuesdays from 4:00-5:30pm @ RBC Centre 

SMHA will post a Google Form sign up sheet every Thursday morning via email blast and Facebook to sign up for the next session. The form will shut down as soon as the max amount of 25 players has been reached.
