IMPORTANT HOCKEY REGISTRATION ANNOUNCEMENT

This year, registration for all hockey players will be done online, directly with the St. Boniface Minor Hockey Association. 

To register, please go to the SBMHA website, which can be found at the following link:  http://www.sbmha.ca/

The registration web link is not yet available, but should be in the very near future.  The registration is being done through

and with Hockey Canada, and if you have your Hockey Canada ID number that will speed up the process.  Registration fees

 for the upcoming year are as follows:

5 & 6 year olds - $275.00

7 & 8 year olds - $400.00

All other age groups - $500.00

The increase from the fees paid last year is due to an increase ice fees charged by the City of Winnipeg and Community

Centres, which have gone up from $165/hour to $185/hour.  

Families will still be required to pay the WCC Booster Card fee, which can be done at the club on the Fall Registration

nights (September 6^th and 8^th). 

Also, if you have any interest in coaching, particularly at the 5/6 and 7/8 year old age groups, please contact me. 

Without coaches, we can’t have teams.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 956-5458, or via email at jadodgson@shaw.ca.
