We will have a fantastic year despite Covid restrictions especially if we work as a team and do our best to help each other.

This will be a great year and all of us are excited to get back on the field.

Important information for parents looking to buy new chest protectors for their sons. Starting this year there is a new requirement for chest protector standards for goalies (which we supply) and starting next season that standard would apply to all boys players. If you are looking to purchase a new protector this year I would suggest purchasing the protector that meets the requirements for next year, so you don't have to buy a new one again next year.

Teams created first by grades, providing that age requirements are meet:

U8 - Grades 1-2 and are 8 years old or younger on August 31st preceding competition.
