INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the 2010/2011 hockey season with Stony Plain Minor Hockey. My name is Ryan Galusha and I am the Initiation Director for this season. This note is meant to provide information to parents, players and coaches as to the process of evaluations and team selections for this age level. It also contains some of the pertinent details for those who would like to coach at the tom level this year.
The intent for the season is to make the hockey experience a positive one for all players so they may continue with skill development and ongoing hockey enjoyment.
Evaluations will be beginning on September 11 and 12. Details for times will be posted shortly.
If we have missed anything in this note, please check the website for more details.
