Thank you to all players who came out this year - we had a very talented group of players to choose from and wish we could've taken you all. However...congratulations to all the players who made the team, as mentioned, some tough decisions were made by the coaches but we are excited to have you all this year!

Please note that tomorrow (Sunday, May 11th) we will have a short practice from 11am- (approx.)1150am at Sportsworld. This practice will be a light skate to get to know each other and loosen up from a long week of tryouts! We ask everyone (players, and parents if possible) to be there at 10am for a short parent/player meeting before practice. We just want to introduce ourselves and give a run down of expectations going into the fall. We will not be diving into details or logistics of the upcoming season as KMHA encourages these discussions to not take place now, but instead closer to the season. Thus, we plan to do an organized parent meeting at the end of summer, around August, to discuss staffing, other volunteer roles, budget, tournaments etc. We will also plan players meetings at that time. We ask for your support in making tomorrow a light-hearted, introductions focused meeting and a fun first skate going into summer break. 

Thank you all for your respect and patience during the stressful time of tryouts! We appreciate you all and look forward to the season ahead! 

Please reach out if you have any questions. 

Best and see you tomorrow morning,

Coach Jack Carscadden ([email protected]) (517-775-0114 *this is a long distance number so please call Mya if needed)

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!
