Hello U13 Stettler Minor Hockey Families! Welcome to the 2025/2026 season!
My name is Melissa Lyle and I will be your U13 Director this year. We are newer to the Stettler community, and we look forward to meeting many of you through the season! I have managed our son's hockey team for a few years now, but have never been a director. I hope you will all be patient with me as I navigate this new role and hopefully I will be able to answer all your questions. You can contact me by phone 204-720-8414, or by email stettleru13@gmail.com We trust that this will be an awesome year of hockey, friendship and building community here in Stettler. Please reach out if there’s any questions or concerns:)
Thank you for your patience as groups were organized for evaluations. The groups are listed below. You can refer to the U13 Evaluation process on the website for the schedules for the next two weeks ahead which have also been added to this email.
It is requested that your child arrive an hour before their scheduled evaluation. There will be a table set up in the lobby. Please stop to sign in and get your assigned jersey for evaluations! You will need to sign in before to pick up your jersey and leave your jersey with me at the end of each skate.
See you all on Monday!
Melissa

Every effort will be made:
- U11 - All players will be guaranteed three skates as per Hockey Canada. Players will be evaluated as overall players.
- U13, U15 & U18 - All players are only guaranteed one skate. Players will be evaluated as either forward, defence, goaltender. (As specified at time of registration or before commencement of first evaluation skate.)
- Head coach of teams will be selected after the first evaluation skate.
