Hi Sackville Minor Hockey Families,

We’re excited to invite you to our 4th annual Welcome to Hockey Night, happening Sunday, September 13th!

This is a chance to get familiar with the rink, ask questions, meet other hockey families, and get ready for the season ahead.

Event Details:

• Date: Sunday, September 13, 2026
• Time: 5:00–7:00 PM
• Location: Sackville Arena Mezzanine (91 First Lake Drive, Lower Sackville)

Who Should Attend:

• U5 and U7 athletes and their families
• Anyone interested in learning more about hockey and joining Sackville Minor Hockey this season

What to Bring:

Bring your questions, a mini stick for the kids, and the whole family!

What’s Planned:

• Meet other hockey families, volunteers, and members of the Sackville Minor Hockey executive
• Enjoy some refreshments while the kids play mini sticks
• Take a tour of the arena and check out a dressing room
• Get an up-close look at the Zamboni
• Learn some of the hockey basics, including equipment, getting your player dressed, taping sticks, and more
• Ask any questions you have about the upcoming season

We know there can be a lot to figure out at the beginning of a hockey season, especially with our youngest athletes. This night is meant to be fun and relaxed while giving families a chance to get comfortable around the rink and learn a few things before we get started.

We’re looking forward to a great evening and can’t wait to see everyone there!

See you at the rink,

VP U5/U7

Parents of the U5/U7 division. We are looking for volunteers to help out in multiple roles with out U5 & U7 teams. Every little bit helps, and, from personal experience, it is one of the most rewarding things you can do in your child's life.

Coaches are on ice, we are all hands on deck for U5/U7 with certain limitations. If you've played hockey at ANY level please join. We've got plenty of experienced coaches helping you out. Part of this program is to bring in new coaches into our organization. You'll have all the help you need.

The team managers are in the stands, and they will deal directly with the parents, Kelsey Goucher who is our division coordinator, and myself on bookings, jamborees, Moosehead intermission games, etc..

The 50/50 coordinator will be in charge of collecting funds and tickets from all the players each month for the big 50/50 draw. If you're new to SMHA, this is a huge fundraiser for us, a large amount of this goes directly to your player.

Please fill out the attached form if you are interested! U5 & U7 Coach & Manager Volunteers Needed!

Thank you to anyone who is able to put their name forward, and help out in any way.

I look forward to seeing you at the rink!
