Goaltenders 

Did you know that we can help provide you with Goalie equipment?  If your child has an interest to become a goalie, ask us for more information and we can help.  There are some great incentives for the 2017/18 year for those who want to become a goalie or even give it a try.
 
We launched an online Goaltender survey asking for your feedback and we’ve listened.  We amended our Policy Manual with the new goalie recommendations that were recently passed at our August 23^rd meeting.  We believe that there are some great incentives for developing goalies at a younger age for our future growth of the sport. 
 
Some key incentives include:
 
Under 12 and Up - Rebate raised to 100% at end of season for those who have met 75% of team commitment of games/practices in nets subject to coach’s verification, but only for players supplying 100% of their own gear.
 
Under 10 - Fulltime U10 goalies will get full (100%) rebate at end of season or after playing at least 50% of games in nets.
