- No transfers will be permitted between June 2 and June 8.
The registration cost is $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 on November 22nd at 1 pm at Chedoke Arena.
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 which will start 2 weeks after the Welcome Event.
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.
Last year, Chedoke's program sold out in 22 minutes so make sure you have set up your HCR account and are to go when registration goes live at noon on June 2nd.
