We would like to remind everyone that new this year, SMHA is accepting registration for a U23 team! 

SMHA is also pleased to announce that for this year only, players who are registering for U23 that have previously expired 50/50 credits from U18 can reach out to have their credit brought back into the player's account!! This will allow the opportunity for returning players to use their old credits towards the cost of registration for this upcoming season!! 

Register Today! 

If you have any questions, please reach out to Dan MacDonald VPRecreation@FlyersHockey.ca

For 50/50 credits to be reinstated, please reach out to Jen Tower Treasurer@FlyersHockey.ca

Seeking Pre-Season On Ice Helpers:

Seeking Pre-Season Dressing Room Volunteers 

As per Hockey Nova Scotia, we are mandated to follow the "Rule of Two" when monitoring dressing rooms during all sessions. 

Ideally, we would have former managers or coaches sign up as they already have all required certifications in order to monitor dressing rooms. 

Please see the 2024/25 Pre-Season Dressing Room Volunteers spreadsheet to sign up.

We ask that volunteers only sign up if they are able to make all sessions for the division and group they are volunteering to monitor. 

Questions? Email Angela Pennell Communications@FlyersHockey.ca
