Hockey
u7 Program Information
River East Minor Hockey Association (REMHA) is our district. All hockey registrations for hockey are taken at REMHA.ca. Please visit their website for full registration details.
Once registration has closed East St Paul holds player assessments to help form our teams for this age group. This assessment is different than the developmental program Rustbusters hosted by REMHA.
Once the ESPCC assessments are completed teams are formed. The formation of teams usually takes place the last week of September as practices start the week of October 1st. Games start November 1st.
u7 Hockey Program (formerly Timbits)
This program is for players aged 4 to 6 (based on birth year). All East St Paul registered players will practice either Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays dependent on the team your child is placed on. Teams are designated a specific day of the week once teams are formed. This day of the week is for the entire season. Practices are always at 5:00 pm at the East St Paul Arena. Games can either be at the East St Paul Arena or Gateway Arena.
Practices are shared with another team in the same age group. Practice ice is an additional cost. The practice fees will be collected by the team manager once your teams practices have been allocated. There are 2 payments that are required - 1st half practice ice is October 1st until Christmas break. Second have practice ice resumes first week of January and ends mid March when the annual Tournament of Aces begins.
The ESPCC provides game jerseys and socks for u7. Game jerseys are not to be worn for practices. Please see jersey and equipment policy for full details.
