Attention Rec Families: A message from our Dan MacDonald, VP Recreation

Good Evening Rec Families 
 
Welcome back for another exciting season of hockey!  
 
We would like to provide you with a couple quick updates on the Rec Eval schedule and process. Please see the following schedule of upcoming ice times. Player groupings will be posted this week so please stay tuned for those. Remember, these are NOT your final teams and this ice time will only include our players who have signed up for rec hockey. When the competitive tryout process concludes or as players are released to rec they will join in with these groups. We will then have a balancing game period to ensure our teams are as evenly matched as possible so remember there can and likely will be movement of players as required.  For those of you who may be interested in coaching or volunteering in some capacity please email me at vprecreation@flyershockey.ca  and come on out to help during the evals. We always need help at this time of year and look forward to seeing you.  Players will receive an eval jersey upon signing in on the first day of their scheduled ice times.
 
 
 Thanks and see you all soon!

Competitive Tryout Jersey Pickup Times for U11, U13 & U15

Jersey pick up Information:

Please note the following Competitive Tryout Jersey Pickup Times for U11, U13 & U15.

Wednesday, Sept 16, 2026 - 6:30-8:30pm @ Sackville Arena Mezzanine

In keeping with the SMHA Competitive Tryout Policy, requests for a specific jersey number cannot be accommodated. 

A parent or guardian will be required to initial at jersey pick up. If a player's assigned Jersey is not returned at the end of the Competitive Tryout Process or Rec Evaluations, there will be a Jersey Replacement Fee added to the player's account. 

Players released from the Competitive Tryout Process keep the same assigned jersey throughout the Recreation Evaluation process.

Important Notes:

If your player is currently trying out for another team (Rangers, Kings, High School, etc.) and they are registered in SMHA, please make sure you come and pick up your tryout jersey. If you are placed with another team, we will arrange a tryout jersey drop off. 

We will be scheduling a separate Jersey pick up for U9 and U18. 

Recreation Evaluation Jerseys will be given out during the check in process on the first day of evaluations.
