No favorites – just pure hockey justice!

📅 KEY DATES

  • Season starts: 5 May
  • Mid-season break: School holidays (with fun age-specific games in the works!)

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

The Summer League 24/25 has been an exciting journey, and it’s hard to believe it’s already coming to an end this Thursday, 20 February.

It’s a great opportunity to celebrate the hard work and camaraderie of everyone involved, so don’t miss it!

Discipline

We will not name names here, but our discipline this season has let us down. With the number of cards significantly higher than Winter League 2023. Although there were no red cards (winter we had 2), there were 5 Yellow cards, and 11 Green cards.

We have met to discuss this and there will be a spirit of grand masters award for Winter League, to try and curtail this.
