PrintGeneral Information

PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION PRIOR TO REGISTRATION
*note that tryout registration will remain open throughout tryouts. U18 tryout registration will remain open until fall


Prep Skates:

Prep Skates are available to anyone from Wingham Minor Hockey, Kincardine Minor Hockey and Huron Bruce Minor Hockey.
Prep skates are not mandatory and will not be used to evaluate any skaters before tryouts. 
(if you are trying out for the Whitecaps but would like to participate in prep skates,
you can attend them in your designated zone).
There is a non-refundable fee for prep skates of $50.00
Please use the link below to register for prep skates
*please note that registering for prep skates does not register you for tryouts. See below for tryout registration*

We made multiple slots for prep skates in the event that there is a high capacity of skaters sign up for the prep skates. 
If we require the multiple ice times, they will be broken down likely by last name (exp: A-E, F-L, M-Z).
As we get closer to the start of prep skates we will have a better idea of how many are registered and if we will need all those slots.
