It is expected that each team will play 6 games in December, 4 vs Sudbury plus 2 intersquad locally.  January and beyond is to be decided and communicated closer to January.    

All participants must register by Nov 6th so that the schedule can be determined, register by emailing Coach Jamie Henderson your intend to tryout.  Tryouts fees will apply to players not in U18 Tier 1 at present, and anyone not registered with SMHA currently is reminded that all releases and permissions to skate are neccessary to participate.
