Hockey season will officially begin next week with our annual Season Kick-Off event from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3.

The event will take place at Market Common Hockey Rink, located at the corner of Crabtree Lane and Emmens Avenue at Grand Park (directions here).

It is open to all players signed up for the fall season, as well as to anyone considering joining one of our leagues or Learn to Play programs this fall.

The GSYH Season Kick-Off marks the start of our 2024-25 season with an open skate, player evaluations, a hockey gear swap and informational sessions for parents in our leagues and our Learn to Play programs.
