Summer hockey?

We are getting several e-mails from players looking for summer ice hockey. The NSWHL operates from October to April. If anyone is organizing summer hockey - and they are looking for players - please let us know and we can pass it along.

There will be a few minor tweaks to the times on the playoff schedule (due to the arena's flooding schedule). They will be updated shortly.

Good news

NSWHLers came out in support of the SMU hockey program. Here's a pic of some league folks at the rally at SMU. It looks like the program will be saved thanks in part to a major sponsorship from Canadian Tire! Read the good news here.

SMU Cuts their Women's Hockey Program! Speak up!

Yesterday (Friday March 18th) St. Mary's University (SMU) cut their women's hockey program citing budget cuts. Read about it in the ChronicleHerald. Here, here and here. In Metro News here. Comment on the stories on the newspapers' websites.

Speak up in support of this program and women's hockey!

Email the Athletic's Director and President of SMU to make them aware of your opinion. steve.sarty@smu.ca and colin.dodds@smu.ca.

A respectful note asking them to reconsider their decision and telling them why women's hockey is a valuable part of their athletic programs can make a difference.
