Dragons pond hockey returns for its 10th season in 2027!
Thank you for your interest in our 10th annual North Glenora Dragons pond hockey program!
Pond hockey is a fun, non-competitive way to get your kids outside in the winter and get them moving. Hockey experience is not required, but participants are required to have at least an intermediate level of skating, meaning they are confident skating, turning, and stopping. Players will be divided into groups based on their skill level.
Please note that we require a minimum of 10 players to run our Dragons hockey program and we have a maximum registration of 35. This pre-registration form will help us ensure our program is a success!
Registration is open to children ages 5-12. Every player will need to have their own skates, helmet, jock/jill, and stick. The North Glenora Community League has some skates (limited sizes) and helmets for borrowing on a first come, first served basis. Skates, helmets, and hockey gear are also available to eligible applicants through Sport Central.
Dates & times:
The Dragons will practice on Wednesday evenings at the North Glenora Community League rink. The first practice will be on January 6, 2027, weather and ice permitting.
** Please note: Pond hockey is dependent on weather. Sessions will be cancelled if the windchill is below -20°C or if the ice is too soft. If possible, we will hold make-up sessions in the following weeks (weather permitting). **
Registration & cost:
Fill out the form above to pre-register. You will be notified via email when your child is registered and the fees are due. Registration is ONLY $80 for the whole season! Registration is complete once your child’s dues are paid.
To keep fees low, we need volunteers to help with coaching, managing registrations and communication, rink maintenance, clean-up, serving hot chocolate during practices, and year-end party planning.
Equipment:
We have equipment for registrants to borrow for the season. Each player will receive a jersey and a set of hockey equipment on the first day (which includes neck guard, shoulder pads, elbow pads, pants, gloves, shin guards, carry bag). This equipment is yours to borrow and use for the entire season and must be returned and the end of the season. Please take care of your equipment and clean it as needed.
All players must provide the following equipment:
Mandatory: skates, helmet with mask, stick, jock/jill
*Skates and helmets may be borrowed from the North Glenora Community League rink shack on a first come first serve basis. Jock/jill must be purchased.
Skates, helmets, and hockey gear are also available to eligible applicants through Sport Central.
Optional: mouth guard
Structure:
Parents will need to ensure that their children are dressed and ready to play on time. Approximately half of the practice will be skills and drills, and half will be a scrimmage.
Volunteering:
We rely on volunteers to keep our costs as low as possible. Please let us know if you are able to help in any way. Volunteer opportunities include: assistant coach, team manager (assist with registration and communication), equipment manager, rink manager, rink maintenance, rink shack tidy/organization, hot-chocolate duty, and year end party organization.
