Novice LL, Tyke and IP Programming Information
Submitted By klesauvage on Fri 09 14, 18
With the i
mplementation of the re-vamped Hockey Canada
Novice and below programming, there have been some significant changes
made to the hockey programs offered within the OMHA which started in the
2017-18 season.
Novice LL
Because of the low registration numbers in the Novice age group (2010 born players), there is the opportunity for some 2011 born players to move to Novice LL this season to help fill the remaining roster spots needed to field a team. In order for a 2011 born player to move to the Novice division they must meet the Association's skill criteria (as per OMHA guidelines) and there must be available spots for them in that division.
For the 2011 players, who are interested in playing Novice LL this season, the first practice is Saturday, September 15th at 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. There will also be another practice on Sunday, September 16th from 12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. Evaluations for the 2011 players will be done during these practices, by independent evaluators, to determine which 2011 players meet the Association's criteria to play at the Novice level. Only those players offered spots after these two skates will remain with the Novice LL team. Those 2011 players not interested in playing Novice LL, please email Carl Frook at [email protected] indicating your child will be joining the Tyke team.
Tyke
There has been a fee change implemented for this season to match the Novice fee. An additional $175 will be collected by the Tyke team Manager once the Tyke roster is finalized. This will apply to all players registered in the Tyke division, including any 2012's that may be offered and accept a Tyke roster spot. The first Tyke practice is Tuesday, September 18th at 6 p.m. - 7 p.m. There will be a meeting on Sunday, September 16th at 1 p.m. for IP and Tyke parents in the viewing area above the pool.
IP
The Initiation Program (IP) is for the 2012 and 2013 born children. The first skate is on Tuesday, September 18th from 5-6 p.m. HMH is still looking for IP coaches. There will be a meeting on Sunday, September 16th at 1 p.m. for IP and Tyke parents in the viewing area above the pool.
Please contact Carl Frook, IP Convener, at [email protected] if you have any questions.
