Dear Chebucto Families,

Recently we made a decision in error to close Recreation "C" registration and establish a wait list prior to the published close date of Sept 15th We apologize for any confusion or stress this has caused.  Registration for Recreation C hockey will re-open Sept 4th and it will remain open until Sept 15th as originally published.  

As an association we need to ensure our team configurations across all age groups in both competitive and recreation hockey is consistent and viable.  As such, we will monitor the registrations in these last two weeks and make a decision on team configuration once registration has closed.  It is our intention for all Chebucto families who register by this date to have a spot on a Chebucto team.  However, if the final numbers do not support viable team configurations at all levels, we will have to evaluate player registration for Recreation C level on a first come first serve basis, dating back to the open date of registration.  Further, we will work with Hockey Nova Scotia to the best of our ability to find a spot for any player not selected on a Chebucto team after the final team configurations are in place. 

Once again I want to thank my executive for the tireless efforts in managing registration, team projections,  and dedication to providing the opportunity to participate in hockey for each player taking the time to register with us either for the first time or as a returning participant.

If you have concerns or questions please reach out directly to me.

Groups and Schedule Announced!

Dear Chebucto Membership,

Here we are, nearing the end of August.  The Chebucto Board and association volunteers are busy getting ready for summer and pre-season development sessions, and quickly on the heels of that...competitive tryouts and U9 Evaluations

All tryouts can begin as early as September 28 (with the exception of U13 AAA on September 15). As you all know, it takes a village to run a hockey association's tryout processes, a VERY large village, and in recent years the volunteer engagement at Chebucto has been very low with the bulk of volunteer support falling to a very small group of individuals. 

We must conduct tryouts and all other player activities according to Hockey Canada policy and regulations.  As such, we need a minimum of 8 and up to 15-17 volunteers dedicated for EVERY tryout session. 

If the volunteer level remains low, we will be forced to have closed tryouts for Chebucto Minor Hockey (no spectators allowed), and only volunteers will be permitted in the rink. 

VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP FORM

Please review the roles available, and submit the volunteer sign up form to indicate where you can help out.  If every player had one parent/guardian volunteer just a couple of 1-2 hour shifts, we'd have every ice time more than covered. 

 We can't do this without you - the parents and guardians of the Chebucto player membership.  Please help us deliver another successful tryout period for our players, and keep the rinks open so everyone can enjoy watching their player(s) give their best.
