We've received some questions about Prep Skates, like "what are they", "how many are there", "do I have to do a prep skate", and "why are you calling me at this hour".
First, sorry about that, misdialed, but more importantly, we have answers for you below!
1)
Prep Skates are Optional.
Your player doesn't have to attend, but it's a nice, low-pressure way to, well PREPARE, for tryouts and the season to come.
2) SLMHA HAS to provide them
As per Hockey Canada & OMHA policies, Rep teams & the U9 and below levels must be provided 4 prep skates, while Local League teams must be provided 2 prep skates
- players trying out for the U13 Rep2 or U11 Rep2 can attend all
four scheduled prep skates (
September 2nd, 4th, 5th & 6th)
- players playing U11 or U13 Three County can attend
two prep skates as per the schedule (
September 4th & 6th)
3) The Schedule is UP NOW
Check out the
League Calendar for September to see what times your player can participate!
