If you have kids who want to play hockey – or your kids are grown and you miss watching the action of young players on the ice, Manvers Minor Hockey Association has just what you are looking for. Well trained coaches provide an environment where children can learn the importance of teamwork and improve their skill development in all aspects of the sport of hockey.
Boys and girls who are under the age of 6 join at the Initiation level. Watching them is entertaining and will remind you what simple fun learning to skate and score can provide. Manvers Minor Hockey has leagues for all ages following Initiation. Tykes, Novice, Atom, Peewee, Bantam and Midget, Juvenile and Overage Juvenile provide fun and competition for those up to the age of 20.
Manvers Arena and Community Centre
Manvers raises money to help keep the costs down for families through an annual raffle and also from hosting Pre-Teen Dances once a month. Dances are held monthly throughout hockey season. Admission is $6 and dances run from 7 to 10 pm. Looking for something to do once a month? Why not volunteer to be a parent chaperone? If you have more than 2 children in hockey, you are eligible for a ‘3rd Family Member Discount.’ And individual teams will also be involved in fundraising activities for their teams to attend tournaments.
Financial assistance is available through the Canadian Tire Jump Start Charity. More information can be found at http://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca/en/what-we-do/want-to-apply.
