U13 SELECT TEAM
Another exciting year of hockey is upon us. BMHA is thrilled to announce that we are canvassing interested BMHA players for a U13 Select team this season. Players must be registered with Belmont Minor Hockey to play on this team.

A) What the Select Program will look like:

Players who are selected will play on both their Local League team as well as the Select team. All ice times would be planned around local league teams planned activities to avoid scheduling conflicts.

B) Season Plan, pending ice availability

·       1 practice per month

·       2-3 home and home exhibition series with local U12BB rep teams

·       Attend 2 tournaments, currently selected but pending team availability:

o   Hespler Olympics Dec 27-30

o   Belle River April 3-5

C) Selection Process

·       Pending interest, an evaluation skate will be scheduled in September.

·       Please fill out the form to express interest by Fri Sept 4th at 4 pm.

·       Team will consist of 15 skaters, 2 Goalies if there is enough interest. This will reduce the cost and provide as many interested players the opportunity to join our team.

D) Coaching Philosophy:

Head Coach for the U13 Select Team is Patrick O’Connor, 226-926-0821

 “My goal is to create a culture for both learning and loving the game of hockey. While supporting the players to meet their potential. This program will have a strong emphasis on skill development, team play that will provide life long memories and build relationships”

E) Cost of the Select Teams

·       Estimated cost to support the season is $200 per player, with another $160 for player owned jerseys/socks if the team collectively decides to purchase.

·       Cost above is based on minimal fundraising/sponsorship opportunities.

·       Finalized budget to be determined once a team is selected.
