Latest Update

February 5, 2021
Hello Parents / Guardians,

Hopefully everyone is coping as well as possible while we navigate toward a possible end to the COVID-19 pandemic.  This notice is being sent to sadly confirm the obvious. 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 no longer have the ability to provide programming for the 2020/2021 season.

It is important to stress that the safety of our playing members and their families certainly supersedes the need or our ability to move forward this season. Hopefully our children return to school shortly and we move forward in a positive direction throughout the spring and 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.

HOUSE LEAGUE: All players are released from the 2020/2021 season as of May 31, 2021. This simply means all players are able to sign with any organization after this date. Any players wishing to continue in the S.H.A. Hockey Club programming MUST register again even if they were registered for this past year. Earliest possible start date for programing will be October 2021 depending on Provincial restrictions if COVID-19 is still a dominating factor. Online registration will take place once we have confirmed start dates and possible restrictions.

Seasonal Awards: As stated previously, when possible awards from the 2019 / 2020 season will be made available. 

SELECT PROGRAM: Earliest possible start date for programming will be October 2021 depending again on Provincial restrictions if COVID-19 is still a dominating factor.

THERE WILL BE NO SPRING TRY-OUTS PROVINCE WIDE

COMPETIVE A & AA: Although the Ontario Hockey Federation (O.H.F.) has extended the season to May 31, 2021 it is highly unlikely that we would see any game action. If the Provincial Guidelines return Toronto to the Orange (Restrict) Zone anytime prior to May 31, teams would be allowed to return to the ice and will be required to follow all Provincial and City restrictions. The City of Toronto has removed all ice with the exception of a couple of facilities City wide, therefore returning to any on ice events would certainly be complicated.  All players are released from the 2020/2021 season as of May 31, 2021. This again simply means all players are able to sign with any organization after this date.            

Earliest possible Try-Outs will take place after Monday September 6, 2021 depending as well on Provincial restrictions if COVID-19 is still a dominating factor. Starting with AAA followed by the AA and then A.

THERE WILL BE NO SPRING TRY-OUTS PROVINCE WIDE

All questions can be directed to shahockey@rogers.com and will be answered to the best of our knowledge at the time of the request.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and myself, we wish you all a healthy and safe spring and summer with hopefully a quick return to our programming and a new normal.

Sincerely,

Ed Wahl

At that time, we then change the Saturdays to “modified ice” scrimmages with Sundays remaining “station” practices until the first week in April. We also have an optional free Skating Skills session on Sunday mornings with this program also taking place at the Don Montgomery Community Centre.

Initiation 8: Hockey Canada based program that starts on “modified ice” for scrimmages until January 15^th and then reverts to “full ice” games. Program begins the first of October and takes place on Saturdays around mid day with practices Sunday afternoons until the first week in April.

Hello Parents,

We have been advised by the Ontario Government, Ontario Hockey Federation (O.H.F.) and the Greater Toronto Hockey League (G.T.H.L.)  that prior to any players being eligible to play in the upcoming 2019/2020 season, the information found under our Rowan`s Law Information and Resources section MUST be read and shared with your child. Note that there are different documents for each age level so be sure to select and share the appropriate document based on your child's age.

Please sign and return the attached acknowledgement form to sharegistration@rogers.com as soon as possible. Remember that this must be received prior to any player participating in the upcoming season.  

Once we received, we will add the signed authorization form to the player's HCR file (Hockey Canada Registry) to complete the obligation to both the O.H.F. (Ontario Hockey Federation) and the G.T.H.L. (Greater Toronto Hockey League).

Sincerely,  
Ed Wahl
