Each team will have 1 practice before the season. This will be the only practice of the season. Please see your age group's schedule page for your team’s practice time (found under "GameCentre" along the top menu bar).
Teams will play every Saturday and Sunday (EXCEPTIONS: No games Easter or Victoria Day (May 2-4) long weekends and the odd time where there is an existing weekend booking with the arena – games will be made up on weekdays).
