Regular Season Registration

Reminder- Registration deadline is tonight, September 11, 2026, 11:59pm (Firm).

Sackville Minor families are reminded that all players must be registered with SMHA by tonight, even if they are trying out for another team (Rangers, Kings, High School, etc. - please choose offline payment when registering). If the division has a waitlist, please add your player to the waitlist. 

If a player is not registered with SMHA before the deadline, they will not be eligible to return and try out if released from another program.

U15 Tryout Body Contact & Player Opt-Out

Reminder - As part of Sackville Minor Hockey Association’s commitment to providing an accessible, inclusive and fair tryout process, families will have the option to indicate through the SMHA tryout registration form that their player will opt out of body contact during the U15 body-contact portions of the tryout process.

• remember that players are not participating in the game to entertain the parents.
• not judge players by professional standards.
• maintain their self-control at all times.

SMHA is seeking volunteers to help facilitate the 2026/2027 tryout process. Please note volunteers will not be matched to a division that they have a player registered for. 

On Ice Drill Leaders and On Ice Drill Support: Ideally Coaches who have their required certifications from last season.

Dressing Room Volunteers: As per Hockey Nova Scotia, we are mandated to follow the "Rule of Two" when monitoring dressing rooms during all sessions. 

Ideally, we would have former managers or coaches sign up as they already have all required certifications in order to monitor dressing rooms. 

We truly appreciate each and every volunteer who takes the time out of their schedule to help facilitate a successful tryout for our players in the Sackville Minor community!

New this year!  

We have designed a SMHA Competitive Tryout Process Information page which you will also find located under the "Tryouts & Evaluations" tab of the Flyers website. 

The SMHA Competitive Tryout Resource Centre provides players and families with clear information about the tryout process, including policies, timelines, forms, and FAQs. It outlines the proper channels for submitting feedback, appeals, and excused absence requests during tryouts, helping ensure a consistent, transparent, and fair experience for all members. Please review the applicable information and procedures before submitting any forms.

Information will be added to this page as we go through the tryout process, please check back for helpful resources!
