Initiation Program Development Sessions
In response to the Hockey Canada mandated changes taking effect for the 2017-2018 season,  the board of directors of St. Thomas Minor Hockey have created additional Initiation Program development sessions to replace Tyke Select programming. 

STMHA is continuing to partner with Progressive Hockey Development in providing these additional development skates.

This special program is being offered to all 2011/2012/2013 birth year players currently registered with STMHA in our house league Initiation Program. 

The program will run from Sunday October 29th until Mar 5.  There will be a couple of blackout dates (to be announced).

The Sunday ice time will be from 8:30-9:20 am. 

The first session will run Sunday October 29 at 8:30 
 
Response to this program will dictate whether we start future sessions at 8am and run two 40 minute sessions or continue offering one session starting at 8:30a.

Please email Vicki in the office to give your player's name and birth year @ [email protected] if interested.

The cost of the program will be $100 per player
