BLACK-OUT WEEKENDS
Each May St.Thomas Minor Hockey submits an ice time request to the City of St.Thomas for the up coming hockey season. As we are just one of many ice user groups the City sets aside and does not allow us to book ice time on certain weekends. These ice times are set aside to allow for tournaments, events and other user group bookings. These are what we call Black-Out Weekends. You will find that through-out the season there will be weekends where there will be no Development Review/Game Day sessions due to these Black-outs. This ice time has not been taken away from the IP program, which is common misconception, it was simply never STMHA ice time in the first place. These “Black-outs” are taken into consideration at the start of the session when the schedule is made so as to ensure each team receives their full allotment of ice time.
BLACK-OUT WEEKENDS
The following are the black-out dates where there will be NO ice times;
Oct 11 – Thanksgiving – Arena Closed
Oct 22-24 – STMHA Major Tournament
Nov 19-21 – STMHA AE Tournament
