Future Muskies 2018-2019
Lindsay Minor Hockey Association “FUTURE MUSKIES” Pre-Initiation Hockey Program   Welcome to all new and returning participants to the Lindsay MHA “Future Muskies” program. This year the program will run from September 2018 through to March 2019 (last session will be prior to start of March Break 2019).


As with last year we encourage Parents/Guardians to participate on ice with their Players. These are very young Players who may experience some separation concerns when they venture out on the large ice surface for the first time.

Parent on ice participants will be called “On-Ice-Volunteers” and will be registered with the OMHA by LMHA.

The OMHA requires that all Parents with Players registered with Hockey Canada must complete the Respect In Sport – Parent Program. This will allow the Player to be “Rostered” to the Pre-Hockey Program as a tracking device for the OMHA. Go to www.omha.net for more information.

 

Schedule

 

There will be two sessions a week, starting September 25, 2018.

Tuesday evenings at 5:30-6:30PM on Pad 1 will be a program to teach basic hockey skills. Parents and Players need their sticks for these sessions.

Saturday mornings at 9:15-10:15AM on Pad 2 will be skating instruction and we are very happy to announce that we have acquired a very qualified Skating Instructor for our program. Parents and Players not need their sticks for these sessions.

When you come in to the arena there will be a monitor on the wall next to the Food Booth which will tell you which changerooms we will be using.

Due to the large number of other user groups at the Lindsay RecPlex, Parents are encouraged to continue to look for schedule changes on the LMHA website schedule. 

Tim Hortons is our sponsor and they will be providing sweaters and socks for the players. It is hoped they will arrive for our first session.

These will need to be worn at each session and will belong to the Players at the end of the season.

 

 

Equipment Players will need;

Hockey Skates, Shin Pads, Hockey Jock or Jill, Hockey pants, Hockey helmet with face protector, Hockey gloves, hockey elbow pads, Hockey shoulder pads, mouthguard and Hockey stick (Preferably a straight stick until your Player shooting side is determined).
