Good Morning Sackville Minor Hockey Families,

Welcome to the 2026/27 season! We wanted to share a few important updates as we head into the weekend.

With U18 tryouts, U9 evaluations, and Rec evaluations still ongoing this weekend, please see the ice schedule below for our current teams.

Please note:

• This schedule applies only to October 3rd and 4th.
• Your coaches/managers will be provided with your team’s regular-season schedule.

Manager Meeting

Our Manager Meeting will take place October 8th at 7:00 PM virtually. A meeting link will be shared prior to the meeting.

Home & Away Socks
Sackville Minor Hockey has purchased home and away socks for our teams this season. Please do not purchase socks for your team or ask families to purchase them. SMHA has received a bulk discount by going this route, with more details to come.

Custom Jerseys
There is one approved custom jersey option available to SMHA teams this year. Please do not order custom jerseys at this time. Custom jerseys cannot be added to a team budget and must be fully sponsored. More information will be shared at the Manager Meeting.

Thank you to all of our coaches, managers, volunteers, and families for your patience and support as we work through the final stages of evaluations and team formation.

Good luck to everyone on the ice this weekend, and welcome to another season with Sackville Minor Hockey!

Good evening,

For those who might like a visual on what drills they might expect, SMHA has posted a YouTube Playlist. Our hope is that these nine short drill videos will help visualize various drills used throughout SMHA Competitive Tryouts.

The link above is also embedded near the top of each Competitive Tryout Page as follows:

• U11 AA/A/B
• U13 AA/A/B
• U15 AA/A/B

Thank you, and good luck out there!
