Following tryouts, registrants will receive an email to confirm their players roster spot and complete registration based on the program their player was placed in. The program cost can be paid in full or a payment plan of 6 months can be set up at that time. Payments will be automatically deducted on 9/25, 10/25, 11/25, 12/25, 1/25 & 2/25. 

Game times and locations will vary by week with most games being played on weekends, with the possibility of a weeknight based on necessity. Scheduling can fluctuate due to variables such as holidays, team photos and loss of club ice due to functions like tournaments and showcases. This grid represents team schedules during any regular week.
