IP Assessments start soon and we can't wait!
Our convenors are
working hard, organizing our volunteer coaches and
will communicate when
your child should attend Assessments in a week or so. This will be decided once we close
registration and have our final numbers in early September.
Our website will be updated with how we are
splitting the players.
But we know everyone is excited so passing on this info now.
Assessments for the IP age group will be on September 16 and/or September 23rd at Kinsmen Arena, 20 Granville St, London.
September 16th:
- Kinsmen Pad B 1:30pm to 3:30pm
- Kinsmen Pad A 2pm to 4pm
September 23rd
- Kinsmen Pad B 9:30am to 1:30pm
From there, the coaches will take a week or so to divide players into teams based on skill and then notify all of team.
Regular season will beginning Oct 7th.
Please remember, each family is responsible for taking the Parental Respect In Sport (PRIS) course. This needs to be completed prior to skating. Many of our younger players are missing this and this year will be strictly enforced. Please ensure you have taken this. If you have an older player who has this, you do not need to take it again, BUT you do need to add them to your existing profile by logging in to the PRIS website … if not already done. https://alliancehockeyparent.respectgroupinc.com/koala_final/
We do require ALL Players to wear FULL equipment including jerseys and socks for Assessment skates and Only registered players who are up to date with payments will be allowed to participate. Please note, while jersey’s and socks are provided, these are not distributed until teams are created, so not available for evaluations. We are working on seeing about getting some gently used jerseys an socks for those who may not have access to any, but this will be a limited supply. So if you have any to share, please consider bringing them or asking a neighbour who maybe able to share.
