Team fees are to cover the extra cost of tournaments, extra ice, special events and other incidentals the team has agreed upon at the parents meeting.
Yes! Volunteers are important to the SSMHA. Please contact your coach to express your interest in volunteering with the team. All volunteers working within a vulnerable sector must complete a Police Record Check (Level 3).
Yes, this online training program is mandatory for all new parents to hockey to ensure the safety and well-being of players and to encourage respectful communication with officials and coaches. Players over the age of 16 years must complete this training. Please note that if you took the training for another sport, you do not have to do it again, but you have to "register" your certificate number with your association.
As an association, we fully expect that all members follow what they have learned from the Respect In Sports training. If a situation or complaint does occur, you might be summoned to hearing for a disciplinary hearing once an investigation has occurred.
Most players and families enjoy the experience of attending out-of-town tournaments. Please notify your coach if you choose not to participate; please note that no refunds from team fees can be issued to those families who do not attend.
The first recourse is to talk to your team manager and head coach. If they cannot help, please contact the Convenor of your respective division.
The arenas are local at the House League level. We are part of District 2 Lower St. Lawrence Minor Hockey League Association (LSLMHL), which consist of Akwesasne, Alexandria, Char Lan, Cornwall, NGS, and South Stormont, (see Arenas section of our website). The only travel outside of that will be for out-of-town tournaments, which will depend on the team (will be discussed at the parents meeting at the beginning of the hockey season).
