 Program Information
 
Box House League
The Box House League program runs on Saturdays from early April until the end of June.  For the first two weeks, pre-season clinics are held and as a result, certain age groups will play on the Sunday.  On the final two weekends of the season, teams play in our end-of-year tourney and teams play on both Saturday & Sunday for these weekends.  Teams practice for approximately 30 minutes prior to their games each week.
 
Box Rep
The Box Rep program begins with tryouts during the first two weeks of April.  For those players selected, practices begin the third week.  Teams typically practice on Mondays or Tuesdays with games on Wednesdays or Thursdays.  Extra practices may be scheduled by the team and each team may enter tournaments.  The season wraps up with the Provincial championships in early August.
 
Field Rep
The Field Rep program  also begins with tryouts in the mid-March to early April timeframe.  Practices begin immediately after the tryouts. Each weekend before the qualifiers is a one-day 2 or 3 game series played on Saturdays for Novice and Peewee and on Sundays for Bantam and Midget.  The season usually runs from the last weekend in April through to the end of May.  Practices are one evening per week and are held outside once field permits are available.  Until then, indoor facilities are used.
