• U7 & U9 PLAYERS
  For our youngest players, the season will kick off the week of September 28th. Stay posted for more information to come. New players can view our equipment list here.
  
  
• PHL TOURNAMENTS
  The Premier Hockey League (PHL) - a league separate from SMHA - has booked tournament ice with the Stettler Recreation Centre again this season. Recognizing concerns raised last year, SMHA has worked with the Town to coordinate dates and arrangements to minimize the impact on our teams. PHL dates are Sept 25-27, Oct 9-11, and Dec 4-6. We are fortunate to have additional ice availability at the Big Valley Arena, which may be used throughout the season only if needed. Questions regarding PHL ice bookings can be directed to Brad Robbins (brobbins@stettler.net).
  
  
• STAY CONNECTED
  We'll continue to share important updates throughout the season by email, on www.stettlerminorhockey.com and through our Facebook page.
