We are at a point in the season where most divisions have played over half of their scheduled games. All games are becoming important as teams develop their players and get ready for playoffs which are soon approaching.

Hockey is a great sport and players, coaches, parents and fans alike must remember that it is also a “game” that we should all enjoy.

Respect for all involved should be the number one priority. With this in mind, we would like to emphasise that most divisions are exhibiting good sportsmanship in the competition that is going on between teams, while suspensions are low, there is still room for improvement at all times.

Winters can be very long, and we all want to enjoy our son’s and daughter’s years in minor hockey to the fullest.

May the rest of the season bring fun and enjoyment in hockey !

Yours in Hockey,

Nickel District League Executive
