Hi Everyone! Hope you all had a great summer – now it’s time to think about the upcoming events for fall and winter…
Sledge Hockey
Our season starts Sunday, November 1st and goes through
February 28th, 2 PM to 3PM, at the Waterford Arena.
Enclosed you will find a registration form for anyone interested in playing sledge hockey this winter, as well as a Game Schedule. Please complete the registration form and return it to me at 46 Berkley Crescent, Simcoe, N3Y 2K5 with your cheque for $50 payable to South Coast Special Needs Kids, PRIOR TO OCTOBER 9TH.
If you have a sledge, bring it with you, otherwise a sledge will be assigned to you on November 1st. Also, please bring your hockey jersey – new players will be given a jersey at the arena. All players must wear a helmet and upper and lower body protection while on the ice.
