Cloverdale Minor Hockey is excited to be hosting a First Shift program again in 2024.  This is a great program that allows players a fun, low-cost and low-commitment introduction to the game of hockey.

The NHL/NHLPA First Shift is open to children ages 6-10*, who have never previously enrolled in minor hockey within Canada or the NHL/NHLPA First Shift program.

*To be eligible to participate, children must be born between January 1, 2013 and May 1, 2018.

If you are interested in volunteering with or otherwise supporting this program, please email our Program Coordinator at [email protected]

What's Next?

Minor Hockey does not start until September, so there are now a few months to wait until that starts up. 

We are hosting a Transition Program that will run on Saturdays from April 6th to May 11th - times will be 12PM and 1:15PM. 

Note that if both programs do not fill, we will only run the 12PM program. 

Other Options Are:

City of Surrey - offers Skating Lessons, Fun Hockey and Drop In Hockey at a very reasonable price:

Programs are offered at the various rinks around the City, and a variety of times, so that also makes it easier on parents to choose a program closer to your home. They also usually run a 'Power Play' league during the normal hockey season, if you are looking for a lower commitment level program in the Fall. 

Excellent Ice (Surrey) and NHTC (Langley) are private facilities that also offer good programs. 

 

Minor Hockey Registration:

Registration for Minor Hockey will open in late May or early June, depending on your Catchment. 

If you cannot find a program - send us an email - if we get enough interest we may run our own interim program.
