*Hockey jerseys will be provided at the beginning of the season and NEED TO BE RETURNED TO YOUR MANAGER at the end of the season.

Any name banner added needs to be removed. If the jersey is lost or damaged you may be required to pay for the replacement. Socks may be provided at no cost depending on the sponsor but if not, must be purchased through the team manager at an additional cost.
New to Hockey

Children born in 2011 and 2012 (must be turning 11 or 12 on or before December 31, 2023)

The season typically starts at the beginning of September and ends beginning to mid-March.

 

Decision on the number and types of teams to be formed at U13 will be made at the end of June. Later registrations will not affect decisions on number of teams formed. Every effort will be made to accommodate all players. If U13 players wish to play “rep” hockey they must try out for the joint EV Raiders Tier 4 team or Cranbrook Bucks Tier 1/2 team.


Two ice times per week. Days and times will be decided prior to the beginning of each season when number of kids and number of teams is determined.

 

Depending on total number of U13 players registered it may be necessary to combine with Elk Valley Minor Hockey to form teams.


League play may involve travel to Creston, Cranbrook, Kimberley, Invermere, Golden, Fernie, Sparwood, Elkford and Whitefish, MT.


Away tournaments will be decided by coaches/managers and information forwarded to the parents as available. The cost for tournaments varies and is separate from the initial registration fees.

 

Fernie will host a home tournament for the U13 division. Parents are expected to volunteer for fundraising, concession, raffle table, 50/50 and score keeping.

 

f you are interested in volunteering as a team coach, manager or safety person, please fill out a volunteer application by July 15, 2023 https://www.fernieminorhockey.net/volunteer-application/

 

Coaches and managers will use TeamSnap to communicate to parents and players. Downloading this free app is recommended.
