Last season, during a very difficult year due to COVID-19, Oakridge and our GLHA partners were very fortunate to offer a hockey development program and we are very much looking forward to building on that this season and offering a hockey program that also has games as well as practices at all levels.
Of course, to do this, we have to work within safety protocols, polices and guidelines from all levels of government (Federal, Provincial & Local) and agencies (Hockey Canada, Alliance Hockey & MLHU) that are set out to us.
We realize this is limiting to some and while we appreciate not all may agree, we have to abide to offer hockey at all. We also believe what is expected, allowed and required will be ever changing so please keep an eye on our website for updates.
With the challenges of all levels of hockey running their tryouts this September, we need to wait until Jr. Knight and Jr. Mustang tryouts to be completed at U10 and older prior to getting those groups started. We also have to work around limits on arena capacity and other covid protocols.
We are working through scheduling all our age groups so if you have a child in another age group, the email with their details will be coming out. Our U8 & U9 program does not have to wait for tryout progressions so we are happy to be able to get them on the ice in September where as all olders ages will be October. You must be registered prior to stepping on the ice and registrations will be held open, however register now to avoid being waitlisted.
To be eligible for MD tryouts; the MD tryout fee needs to be added at time of registration. If you are unsure if you choose this, login to your account and check items purchased, you will see the MD tryout fee there if you chose it. If not chosen and would like to tryout, please email our Registrar, Lee, at [email protected] to have it added and arrange payment. Exact tryout dates/time will be communicated by our coaches prior to the first tryout.
