  • U11C - Milan Ringler
  • U13C - Nicole de Boer
  • U15C - Rebecca Wong

Season Starts September 2 - U5 to U9 and U11C to U21C Divisions

A reminder for those registered in C hockey and our younger age groups, the season officially kicks off on Monday, September 2!

Division Managers will be reaching out late next week or early the following week with more details for your division. Keep an eye on your TeamSnap app for updates and schedules.

Rep Tryout Process & Expectations

If your player is registered for Rep tryouts, please review the updated Rep Tryout Process document, now posted on the BMHA website. It outlines the evaluation procedures, timelines, and expectations for both players and families - please note there are changes from last year.

In the coming days, Louise Tagulao, VP of Rep Hockey, will be emailing all tryout participants regarding additional information and expectations for players and families.
