Checking Clinics
2023-24 SPRMHA Checking Clinics
All players, male and female, are required to attend a checking clinic in both years of U13 and the first year of U15. This includes players playing in non-checking leagues, male and female players. Each clinic will be 1.5 hours of on-ice instruction.
Goalies are encouraged to attend but are not required to take the checking clinic.
While these are called "checking" clinics, players will learn proper positioning and angling, stick checks, and develop contact confidence. This progression ends with the body-checking component. Player safety and respect for opposing players are also discussed while emphasizing the importance of playing and staying within the rules of the game.
U15 players playing at the AA and AAA levels will not be permitted to play in any games, including pre-season exhibition games until they have attended a checking clinic.
The cost is $20.00 and can be paid in person at the time of the clinic or by e-Transfers to sprmha@gmail.com using the password "Hockey". Please indicate the player's First Name, Last Name and DOB in the message section of the e-Transfer. Players will not be permitted on the ice if payment is not made.
