Division News:

In an effort to best meet the diverse needs of our divisions, we placed all divisions under one of two Classes. The Bantam and Midget divisions are in the Senior Class and Mini Mite through Pee Wees are now in the Junior Class. There are no changes for the Junior Class Division.

There are changes to the Senior Class Divisions. I am happy to announce that we will be able to meet the needs of all of our Bantam and Midget players.

The Bantam age group has been increased to include 15 year olds.

We put the Banget Division back together for in-house games.

The Bantam players will have the opportunity to improve their skills by practicing one time a week with the Bulldogs. This will be Sunday morning. The time will be announced soon.

In turn, the Freshman Bulldog players will be invited to play in the Banget in-house games. These games will be one night a week. The time is yet to be determined.

Registration for the Senior division is now at a reduced rate because we do not have to contract as much ice. The rate reflects ice cost proportional to ice for other divisions and adding referee costs.

We will not require that any of the kids, including travel, participate all of the time.

The Midget players will play the in-house games with the Bantams and can join the Travel practice for skill development. The Travel cost will be reduced to compensate the Travel players for the in-house players participation. This cost will be determined when we have a better idea how many players will be joining.

We are offering a travel team for the Bantam Division for the first time in years!

The Bantam and Midget travel coaches have the power to require or not require their players to go to the in-house activities. It is at the Coaches discretion throughout the season.
