Please note that there is no organized hockey for youth or children this year at the Corkery Community Centre. There were not enough children interested in run a league. Please contact the Carp Community Centre if your child wishes to play outdoor hockey in winter 2010.
Women’s
Hockey
Women's
Hockey is held on Sundays from 7 - 8pm. We have women of all levels and
abilities from beginners to experienced players. The emphasis is on fun and
enjoying a great energetic workout on the outdoor rink.
When does it start?
Weather permitting, our first session will be on Sunday
January 11, 2009 from 7-8pm. In order to start promptly at 7pm you should plan to arrive at the
Corkery Community Association no later than 6:55pm to put on your skates.
How long
does it run?
We will continue to play hockey every Sunday as long as the ice is fit for use,
hopefully until early March, weather permitting.
How much does it cost?
Absolutely free.
How do I register?
We will operate on a drop-in basis, so just go ahead and show up. THERE WILL BE
A SIGNUP SHEET INSIDE THE BUILDING. PLEASE SIGN IN EACH WEEK SO THAT WE CAN
KEEP TRACK OF NUMBERS ATTENDING. If you have friends that are interested,
please invite them. I will notify everyone by email if hockey is cancelled due
to poor weather.
How will we play?
PLEASE try to arrive on time so that we can mix up the teams. Latecomers will
need to join the team with the fewest players. We may switch it up halfway
through to keep it balanced so that everyone can enjoy their time on the ice.
Remember this is FUN!! Whilst some of us play regularly, others are new to the
game, so please keep it fun and safe for everyone. No slap shots or raising the
puck, please.
What equipment do I need?
Aside from your skates and your stick, you must wear a helmet and you will want
to wear gloves, but no other equipment is required. Some ladies wear soccer
shin pads under their pants and others suggest roller blade knee & elbow
pads. Feel free to wear whatever equipment you like to protect you from falls
on the ice. Helmets, of course, are mandatory. It can get pretty cold, but you
warm up fast, so you will want to dress warmly in layers that can easily be
removed. It's also a good idea to bring along a bottle of water for after.
