Attention U13 Families
U13 Boys Families,

The Board of Directors wanted to share the details on why we have decided not to offer a U13 Rep Tier 2 team for this season.


Registration Info:

  • 38 skaters + 4 goalies have registered for U13 Boys
    • That would be THREE teams of 12, 13 & 13 skaters.
  • 13 players have left Ilderton to play on Higher Level teams – That is an entire team of players NOT playing in Ilderton.

 

  • We anticipate that the U13 Rep Tier 1 team will not be competitive with the other teams in the Division 1 loop this season.  They would have an opportunity to be moved down Divisions to play more competitive league & playoff games if they are not able to compete.
  • We also anticipate that if we were to offer a U13 Rep Tier 2 team, that team would also not be competitive with other teams in the Division 2 loop. 
  • If we have TWO Local League teams, they will be evenly balanced and will be very competitive in the Lambton-Middlesex League.

 

U12 Select Option:

  • We believe that having a U12 Select team is a better option then a weak U13 Rep Tier 2 team
  • U12 Select is open to any player born in 2013 that is registered to a Local League Team
  • Players must play with their Local League team for the season, any ice time with the Select team is over & above their Local League ice time.  Commitment is to the Local League FIRST;  Select team SECOND.  
  • This program is 100% funded by the Families of players on the Select team.  Extra Ice time for practise & tournament fee’s will be part of the Select Team Fee per player.
  • We would need a Head Coach to step up and take on the Select team, for this program to happen.
  • There was a successful U10 Select Team last year in Ilderton, so we know the benefits of having a Select team, if there is enough interest from the families.

 

If anyone has any questions or would like to discuss these options further,  please feel free to email me directly.

 

Thanks, 

Andy Marshall

President - IMHA
