Please have your electronic or printed vaccination receipt ready to show the security guard when you arrive.
Those who are eligible for accommodation are requested to have their accommodation validated prior to arriving at the arena. We appreciate the initiative of those who have done so already.

Showers are now available, but please ensure you exit the dressing room 25 min after your ice time.

SKILL SESSIONS ARE BACK!
Due to the overwhelming success of the smaller group sizes we enjoyed last season and the generosity of our skills sponsor (Greenlane Environmental) we have arranged for the smaller group sizes to continue this year. We are excited to have Mark Ellis and his team back to provide sessions on Monday and Friday. To support the smaller groups we have brought in a new provider PHD to offer sessions on Wednesday. We are offering 10 weeks of sessions staring in October, keep an eye on our schedule. Our investment in skills is paying off – we had 5 players make the jump to AAA this season in addition to the 3 already there and still anticipate having very competitive teams this year!
Goalies are welcome to attend with their team, but are also encouraged to book goalie specific training with the provider of their choice. Expenses up to $400 per goalie will be reimbursed upon the submission of a receipt.
Volunteer Opportunities
We are still looking to fill the Game Day operations position and the Association Head Trainer.
There are still a couple of timekeeper/gate attendant positions to fill.
Referee Course
Referees will be in very short supply this year, if you are a U18 player and willing to attend the training course, PSMHA will pay your registration fee!
Registration
Still a few spots open in some age divisions. Please contact [email protected] to inquire on which ages/levels still have space.
