What night/date/time/location will my child be playing?

This is a difficult question to answer before the season starts as we do not know what our registration numbers will be. We understand it makes it difficult to plan other activities for your child when you don't know their hockey schedule. Unfortunately, with numerous teams, there are a lot of moving parts and it takes time to finalize schedules. We will make every effort to get a schedule out as early as possible and we appreciate your patience!

What is the Respect in Sport Online Course?
Hockey Manitoba has implemented the mandatory online Respect in Sport Parent Program. For a child to be eligible to play on a sanctioned Hockey Manitoba team, this online course must be completed by at least one parent or legal guardian of any minor hockey player by November 1st. The RIS Parent Program is separate from the RIS Coach/Manager certification and therefore must be completed regardless of whether you have taken the RIS Coach certification in the past. The cost of this online program is $12 + GST and is not covered by CIS.

Respect in Sport link: https://www.hockeymanitoba.ca/members/respect-sport-parents/.
Please make sure to add all your children (who will be registering for hockey) to your RIS Parent Program profile.
