Welcome
Welcome to the U10 BB Red's home page for the season, my name is Bill Pope and I am excited to be the head coach for this year. I'm looking forward to working with the 2016's this upcoming season and seeing where this year takes us. My staff and I are taking a development first approach, working on the skills and team aspects of hockey. 

Following is some information regarding tryouts:



Tryout ID's

Starting today emails with your unique tryout ID will be sent out. This 3 digit number will be used by the coach's to provide updates on cuts and final selections throughout the process. If you haven't received an ID by the start of the first session please make this known to one of the coach's and we shall make sure you receive one. 

Tryout Overview

Tryouts begin on May 3rd with the first session taking place that afternoon. Your group number will be posted using your tryout ID before the sessions begin that day. Please note all participants are only guaranteed one session within this tryout process.

The first three sessions will go as follows 

May 3rd, Will be skills and small area games for the entire session. 

May 4th Morning, More skills and small area games.

May 4th Afternoon, Will be intrasquad games. 

Signing Process

The signing process for this year will look a little different to years past. The coaching staff will be sending an email to players that we would like to offer a spot to. This email will include a link to go and register for the team. Once you have registered you will be officially apart of the team for this season. As things will be going fast we will be sending the emails as we feel ready to offer a spot and once we have signed the full team we will make a post on the website. 

We as a coaching staff are looking forward to getting started this year and seeing you all at tryouts this weekend.

Sponsors
Timbits
The Timbits Minor Sports Program is a community-oriented sponsorship program for children four to eight years old who participate in local house league sports teams. The program's philosophy is not based on winning or losing - but on learning a new sport, making new friends, and just taking time out to be a kid. Tim Hortons currently sponsors over 200,000 children who play on hockey, soccer, lacrosse, t-ball, baseball and ringette teams across Canada and in the United States. Each sponsored team is supplied with Timbits Minor Sports jerseys or T-shirts. Timbits hockey teams are often given the opportunity to play on-ice scrimmages during intermissions at Junior, American Hockey League (AHL) and National Hockey League (NHL) games and do so with our own KITCHENER JR. A RANGERS. Tim Horton's once again sponsor's our 40 entry level HL teams this year.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada
Our friends at Toyota continue to support Kitchener Minor Hockey by returning as a House League Gold Sponsor yet again for this season. Toyota also sponsors the Toyota Challenge featuring teams from the region in competition and the opportunity to travel to Japan. The Toyota Hockey Challenge consists of round robin competition amongst top Kitchener, Waterloo & Cambridge teams, with the top two teams then competing in a one-game show down that will determine the team to represent the Tri-Cities in a once-in-a-lifetime cultural exchange to Japan. The team that wins the Toyota Hockey Challenge will travel to Hokkaido, Japan during March Break for a cultural exchange with the Tomakomai Allstars, all expenses paid by TMMC. Thanks Toyota!

Donna's Kids is pleased to partner again for 2019/2020 season with Sun Life and their Kids In Gear program.

Monies for this cause have been donated by various individuals and organizations over the years, however with increasing demands we have the need to provide further support for this program. One hundred per cent of the funds raised by KIDS IN GEAR are channelled directly to purchase equipment for children.
