12,547 players from 272 communities have graduated from YAS’s award-winning summer basketball camps since YAS was founded in 1975. Each YAS graduate returned home armed with the skills and confidence needed to excel in basketball and other sports, and most importantly to take leadership roles at school and to make positive contributions to their overall communities.

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.
