PROGRAM FAQ’s
I would like to register for the
Major Midget
but I can only attend certain weeks. Can I select my weeks and get a
discount?
NO, we only allow a select number of students into the program and
achieve the highest results by having the same group progress through
the program on a weekly basis. However, if you cannot attend a certain
week(s) you may have a player who qualifies for the program replace you
but the cost of the program remains the same.
My son was the
last cut from the “AAA” team can he still participate in this program?
NO, all players must have played at the Bantam “AAA” or Midget “AAA”
level to qualify for the program. No exceptions.
Where can I get a full schedule for the program?
The full schedule of ice times is posted under the
schedules tab of
our website.. |
