No major updates to the uniform program from the previous season:
Dryland training options are currently being considered on a team by team basis. We've had mixed results in the past when it comes to athlete participation. Any team managers (or parents) that have ideas or suggestions on this aspect are encouraged to reach out to the Coaching Director.
Coaching applications opened in April. Head and Assistant Coaches should be finalized by June. When that happens they will be listed in each team section below. Practice Coaches will be finalized in the early Fall or late Summer. If you're interested in coaching, go to the Coaching Signup page for more info.
Interested in stepping into the Team Manager role? Or simply curious and want to learn more? Head to the Volunteer page to learn more and send your questions or expression of interest to the Volunteer Coordinator.
The refundable volunteer fee is unchanged at $400.
The fee is refundable when you complete the required number of hours.
Last season, the requirement was 10 hours, of which 5 needed to be home tournament hours. There are 2 home tournaments this year and plenty of opportunities to earn hours before, during, or after a tournament.
Accruing hours is easy and quick. It's per family. If you step into a Team Manager or Steering Committee role, the fee is waived right off the bat. All your questions about volunteering are here.
Parent feedback from the end of season survey tells us more options to volunteer are needed. Information forthcoming on this aspect.
At least 1 parent of each athlete MUST complete the following three items.
Scholarships are available. Learn more.
18U evals will occur if needed in October. This depends on final registration numbers and position (ex. goaltender count) for this age division. Opportunities for pre-season skate(s) may become available.
8U does not have evals.
Refer to the Rapids calendar on the website, your sportsengine app, and/or direct communications from coaches and team managers for details.
Looking for skates, gloves, pants or other pieces of equipment for the upcoming season? Do you want to clean out a closet filled with gear you or your kids no longer use? Then this event is for you!
