U15 News

Hello U15 Families!

My name is Jennifer MacDonald, and I will be your U15 House League Convenor for the 2026-2027 hockey season.  

To all our returning players/families, welcome back to hockey! To all our new players (and families) to the U15 program, welcome to the SMHA family! We can't wait to meet you around the hockey rinks.

Please note, all U15 registrants have been included on these communication emails which consists of players registered for house league and the competitive Rep B programs. All registrants will continue to receive U15 bulk communication until the competitive tryouts have been completed, and the teams have been formed. As these teams are finalised, the distribution list will be updated to only include House League players moving forward.

House Conditioning Sessions:

These sessions provide players with a chance to get ready for the regular season and have some fun. The sessions will have a leader and on-ice helpers assisting with the skaters to ensure that all kids are having a great time and have a fair opportunity to develop. Players will need to provide their own hockey jersey and socks for all sessions.

House Evaluation Sessions (Mandatory):

These sessions are mandatory as they allow us a chance to evaluate your child and place them on a team that will best fit their abilities and skills. The first evaluation session will be sorted alphabetically however the remaining ones will be

Volunteers:

SMHA’s success and foundation is built on the awesome volunteers within our community. If you haven’t already, please consider joining our growing list of volunteers (Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Helpers, Trainers and Team Managers) so we can make contact with you.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc5Iv5AIPP6nAjHLPuD5tB5eGfReFtzRBthw8yiu_hZIhKUwA/viewform 


Bench VSC Process:

This is extremely important!  If you have a valid VSC, you now MUST complete a declaration form for the 26-27 season.  If you do not have a valid VSC, you will need to obtain one through Hockey Eastern Ontario.  I can't stress this enough, if you are a returning volunteer for the upcoming season, please do this as soon as you can as each one needs to be verified.  For a complete overview, submit your declaration or to apply for a VSC, visit https://www.hockeyeasternontario.ca/vulnerable-sector-check/

U15 news, including the content of this email, will be posted on the https://stittsvilleminorhockey.com/smharams/U15News

In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the rest of the summer as we will all soon enough be sitting in ice cold rinks.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. 


Thanks 

Jennifer
