MWF players, families, fans and friends,

We hope you have all enjoyed the summer break and are rested and energized to return to the ice for another terrific season with MWF. We are excited to see you again!!

In preparation for another hockey season, we expect that many players may require new and/or new-to-you gear. Players, if you haven’t already, now is the time to open up that hockey bag and try on all your gear. Figure out what fits and what doesn’t. For those pieces of equipment that no longer fit, mark your calendars for September 18^th so you can bring them to our first (and hopefully annual) hockey gear swap!!

If this date looks familiar, it should! On this date, we are pleased to be offering a MWF conditioning camp as well as a TRY IT session (more details to follow). Coinciding the swap with these other scheduled activities means that there’ll be lots of people making their way to/from the arena, thus increasing the opportunities to make a sale.

In the coming weeks, we will be finalizing all the necessary details to make the gear swap a success, including a call for volunteers and junior leaders.

Please stay tuned for more information and, until then, we hope you enjoy the remaining days of your summer holidays.

Metro West Force is excited to announce our new Conflict Resolution Policy and updated Parent and Player Codes of Conduct. Please click HERE for the full Conflict Resolution Policy located on the Metro West Force website.

Paired with recent rule and policy changes from Hockey Canada, Metro West Force remains driven to remain current and provide its members with a safe, fair and equitable environment which promotes the best interest for the spirit of the game. 

Our Conflict Resolution Policy will provide our members with a neutral and documented complaint process that will be transparent and hold accountability. It will also assist the Association to learn from issues, stop their re-occurrence and elevate our standard of the game.

This policy can be utilized by any participant in any capacity from Spectator to President. Furthermore, it is to be used for any issue, big or small, for any event involving Metro West Force. We want to make sure everyone is heard and can feel comfortable coming forward should they wish a concern to be addressed. 

We will speak to this in our Coaches and Managers meeting as well, so our Teams will be well informed. However, should there be any questions or issues of clarification, please feel free to ask by reaching out to Risk Management at riskmanagement@metrowestforce.com.

Thanks!

Metro West Force Executive

2021-2022 FEES and Registration

For the upcoming season and in line with new Hockey Nova Scotia regulations, we will offer a new recreational program and a representative program.

Our new recreational program is a community-oriented program structured to provide development and competition at the recreational level while offering additional flexibility to families and athletes to participate in other sport or extra curricular commitments. In this program, the average week would have players on the ice with their teams for 1 game and 1 practice (travel for games/practices will be limited).
 
One (1) level of play will be offered within the recreational program (C level).
 
Our representative program teams will compete in province wide loop, as such the travel and time commitment at this level are higher than those at the recreational level. The average week would have players on the ice with their teams for 3+ hours of game/practices time. NOTE As part of their team budgets, individual teams may also decide to pick up additional throughout the year.
 
Two (2) levels of play will be offered within the representative program.
 
Also included within the registration fees, additional development ice sessions will be available at all the above levels.
 
***IMPORTANT PLEASE READ***
All athletes wishing to play on representative teams must attend and participate in our Metro West Force evaluation/tryout process from the beginning.

Athletes will NOT be permitted to be part of both a minor tryout process and female tryout process at the same time.

Players may be released to the Recreational level based on tryout results.

Registration will open on August 9th and will close on September 9th.  More details on registration, including payment plans, family discounts to follow!!
