Latest Update
June 10, 2021

Hello Parents / Guardians

Hopefully everyone is coping as well as a can be while we navigate slowly toward a possible end to the COVID-19 pandemic.  This notice is being sent out to update and highlight our program as we prepare for a reopening in the Fall of 2021. The S.H.A. Hockey Club (Scarborough Ice Raiders) has determined, after consulting with our Governing Bodies (Hockey Canada, Ontario Hockey Federation, and Greater Toronto Hockey League), City of Toronto and the Provincial Government that we can tentatively start preparations for a 2021/2022 season.

Although at this time it is impossible to have firm start dates and program length, we do have the ability to design a program that will work regardless of length or start date. All programming will be prorated when confirmation from our Governing Bodies, City of Toronto and the Provincial Government the actual Return to Play commences.  Hopefully herd immunity will be achieved this summer as we all start to get vaccinated and we move forward in a positive direction throughout the summer to help us get back to enjoying the great game of hockey in the fall.

Below are some important dates and timelines as we move toward providing programming for the 2021/2022 season.
