Rink Etiquette For Parents

Please note that we do not have set days that our girls play their games or have their practices. Our House League plays against other centers and we do not know their ice schedules at this time. Your games could be any night of the week and or typically Saturday and Sunday mornings for the younger ages. You will be given a schedule once the teams begin after Thanksgiving which will include your ice time up to Christmas. All house league teams participate in the Jason Cripps tournament which takes place over the Christmas holidays in Kitchener – typically Dec 27-31. Over Christmas divisions will be split into an A and B pool and you will be given a schedule up until the middle of March. Semi-finals for the top 4 teams in each pool take place between March 22-25th, with the finals taking place in Kitchener on March 27th for teams that are successful in the semi-final round.

You could be playing right up until the end of March. All Waterloo teams then participate in the Waterloo Cup with qualifying games taking place the week following the League finals and the Waterloo Cup finals taking place on Saturday April 3rd.

We know that this at times can make it difficult to schedule other activities your child is in, however usually those other activities occur on the same night, and chances are you may choose to miss one game of hockey or a practice or your dance class instead. We look forward to a great season.

The House League season begins right after the Thanksgiving Weekend – your coach will be calling to let you know when your first ice time is within the next couple of weeks. Good luck and have a great season!
