With the New Year upon us the South Simcoe Ball Hockey League is happy to announce that registration for the upcoming spring 2024 season is now open.

Registration was available to 2023 spring & summer members for the month of December therefore we only have a limited number of spots remaining.

We will continue to offer a local league ball hockey experience.

There are no residency rules in place therefore you may register where the schedule suits you best.

• Barrie – Thursday Evenings (Eastview Arena, East Bayfield Arena)
• Bradford – Tuesday Evenings (Bradford District Community Centre)
• Essa – Thursday Evenings (Thornton Arena)
• Innisfil – Sunday (Innisfil Rec Centre, Stroud Arena)

Please note that when selecting a home centre, you are agreeing to playing 80% of your regular season games on the day and arena’s you’ve selected. The remaining 20% of regular season games you’d travel to the opposing centre on their day of play and arenas. This could be a maximum of 3 travel games.

We are offering the following divisions.

• U6 – Innisfil (2018-2019)

Unfortunately to ensure we meet requirements with our equalization policy we do not offer friend requests. In early April all players will be assessed through evaluations and drafted onto teams by our selected coaches. Siblings registered in the same divisions will be placed on the same team.

The season will commence on April 16th and end on June 23rd however this year we have changed our championship weekend from a 3-day double elimination bracket tournament to a 4-day triple elimination tournament beginning on June 20th.

Fees for our:

• U6 (Learn to Play) division - $130 per player (includes t-shirt style jersey and baseball cap)
• U8 through U18 divisions - $230 per player (includes full sublimated uniforms)

Included with the registration are the following:

• Membership fees
• Player insurance
• Online statistics
• Weekly and year end awards
• Championship day tournament (minimum 3 games)
• Pizza, snacks and drinks on final day.

Registration will remain open until a division is full.

We are currently at 85% capacity however later next week we hope to have additional floor time open up in Innisfil and Barrie. This will reduce our capacity to roughly 70%.
