Chedoke Minor Hockey to Host Fall 2025 First Shift Program
The Chedoke Minor Hockey League has been awarded a Fall, 2025 NHL/NHLPA First Shift Program.

Our fall program will be open to 30 players, aged 6 to 10, who have never previously played minor hockey.

The registration cost remains at $299.00 per player for the upcoming season.

The program includes:

Head to Toe hockey equipment for all players, sized and provided through Bauer Canada during our Welcome Event

6 - 1 hour on-ice sessions provided by Chedoke Minor Hockey to teach the players the basic skills of minor hockey:  skating, passing, shooting, stickhandling

A Transition program will also be offered after the completion of our Fall program, which will continue until the end of the hockey season in March of 2026.  The Transition Program will consist of 8 to 10 1 hour sessions, during the same time slot, to continue skill development of our future hockey players.  There will be an additional cost for the Transition Program, which will be determined closer to the start of the season.

We are just awaiting confirmation on the date of our Welcome Event

Registration will open at 12 noon on Monday, June 2nd, 2025.  You can register on the First Shift website (www.firstshift.ca) when the portal opens.

Last year, Chedoke's program sold out in 22 minutes so make sure you are on-line on June 2nd to Register.

As an incentive for female hockey players, 30% of the total spots (9) in our program will be reserved for female players this year.  

More details will be posted as they become available.  Chedoke is Honoured to host the First Shift Program for the 3rd Consecutive Season, and 4th program overall.
