Coaching Certification

Good morning,

Emails have been sent to individual team staff advising of outstanding coaching certifications (all coaching certifications needed to be completed by December 1st).  If you haven't completed all certifications or CRC, you are not permitted on the ice or bench until they are all completed.  You can return to the ice/bench when they are visible on your HCR profile (ie. you may have shared your CRC but it needs to be showing on your HCR profile). 

Following is the regulation from HNS regarding the penalties of going on the ice when not compliant:
11.13. Any team official who is found to be in violation of any section of HNS- Regulation #11- Coach Certification will be suspended indefinitely until certification for that official has been approved by HNS and it has been added to the HCR. The minimum suspension for a first offence is five [5] games, a second offence will result in the team official being suspended for one full calendar year. HNS, HNSMC and HNSFC reserve the right to lengthen these suspensions depending on the circumstance involved in each violation. 

Thank you,

Craig Foley
VP Risk Management

McEASTA Flyers Hoodies & Tees

Evening Flyers families,

One of our U7 coaches has reached out for us to share their website and Flyers designs! 

Sackville Minor has no affiliation with McEASTA, they are a private locally owned company. We just wanted to pass along this information in case anyone wanted any Flyers designed swag for Christmas! 

Have a lovely night everyone! 

--

Hey Flyers,

Justin Smith here — I help coach my son, Ty, and the U7 Kings. My wife, Krista, and I run a pun-filled apparel brand McEASTA - a play on words for "my keister", a latin term derived from the Newfoundbreton term "me arse".

We just released Flyers hoodies and tees. They aren’t our usual humour line, but they’re very much in the spirit of family, community, and support, which still aligns with McEASTA. 

A big part of what we do is spread awareness for those eligible to get screened for colorectal cancer, as this was a wish of our late friend, Capt. Billy Marr, who passed from what started as colorectal cancer. This was a wish very fitting with a brand called McEASTA.

10% of all profits go directly to cancer-fighting causes (not just colorectal).

How to Order (Super Simple):

Use this link:https://mceasta.com/collections/sackville-flyers?country=CA

Be sure to fill out TEAM NAME: To help with fulfillment/delivery/pickup, having the TEAM NAME really helps (this is different than the optional 'LEVEL').

Order deadline: Thursday, December 4 at 11:59 PM (if you want items before Christmas).

Absolutely no pressure to buy — Sackville might be orange but Lord knows we are all in the red ?.

Thanks everyone!

Justin

This year's tournament will see teams from across Nova Scotia and New Brunswick compete in the U15A, U15AA, U18A, and U18AA divisions. This is an exciting time of year where we celebrate the association, the community, our volunteers, and the former Flyers to which the tournament is dedicated. Can't wait to see everyone at the rink!
We do still have one available spot in the U15AA division. If you are interested, please reach out to tournament coordinator Darren Harvieux via email tournaments@flyershockey.ca
The Flyers Memorial Hockey Tournament is in honour of Sackville Flyers who have passed away in recent years.
Their legacies continue to make a positive impact on the Minor Hockey Community.
