2014–15 SMHA Hockey Registration

VVCA News & Events, , ,

Saskatoon Minor Hockey Association Moves to Spring Registration for 2014

Registration for SMHA for the 2014-2015 hockey season will take place April 15, 2014 – June 15, 2014. There will not be a fall registration.

Why the change to spring registration?

Due to increasing registration numbers and limited ice availability, SMHA registration for 2014-2015 will take place this spring.

The need to gather numbers to insure sufficient ice allocation is paramount. SMHA has grown from 245 teams in its leagues in 2007-08 to 294 teams in 2013-2014. On top of this, SMHA has access to one less sheet of ice now than it did in 07-08.

This type of growth has put pressure on the allocation and scheduling of ice. Having registration numbers in the spring will assist to start ice allocation and scheduling sooner than we do now.

The move to spring registration is a good business initiative for a growing registration base and static ice availability.

We thank all SMHA families for their understanding and cooperation with this change in timing.

There will not be fall registration. Please register in the period noted above in order to secure minor hockey registration for next season.

Walk for MS on April 27

VVCA News & Events, ,

Canada has the highest rate of MS in the world. Based on current incidence rates, the MS Society of Canada estimates that approximately 1000 new cases of MS are diagnosed in Canada each year, which means three more Canadians are diagnosed with MS every day. Chances are you have a relative, friend, coworker, acquaintance or classmate with the condition.

“My role as a mother of two children living with MS is to listen, provide encouragement and believe in the hope that one day we will end MS. I encourage everyone to raise as much money as possible to ensure the research and support is there for all the people we love.” – Joan McFarlane-Rolfs, 20+ yr Saskatchewan Blue Cross MS Walker

Lace up your walking shoes and take a step for someone you love. Join us in the fight to end MS. The Saskatchewan Blue Cross MS WALK in Saskatoon takes place on April 27th, 2014 at the Archibald Arena.
