Caledon Minor Hockey confirmed they are considering Spring/Summer programs if the opportunity arises. There will be no Spring tryouts this year.  CMHA confirmed in their statement the Town of Caledon has removed the ice as of now and they hope in the near future it will be returned.  “It is our current understanding that we may be able to return to the ice in August 2021 in some capacity and that all try-outs will commence in mid-September with the hockey season then starting in October 2021,” CMHA wrote.  The OHF and the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) Fall season will host rep tryouts later this year and the season is expected to return.   For now, CMHA says parents will be receiving money back.  “Pro-rated refunds will be made, by cheque to all players who remained registered in the CMHA program.”  Refunds are being confirmed between CMHA, OHF and OMHA. The association predicts, refunds will be returned to all parents by cheque by the end of April.  CMHA says it is saddened, to have made this decision. But, with warm weather just around the corner, it wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up a cheap hockey net and some roller blades. Driveway hockey is nice alternative and a great way to remain fit for when the Fall arrives. --------------------------------------------------- Images: --------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- Post date: 2021-03-11 11:51:12 Post date GMT: 2021-03-11 16:51:12 Post modified date: 2021-03-11 11:51:15 Post modified date GMT: 2021-03-11 16:51:15 ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Export of Post and Page as text file has been powered by [ Universal Post Manager ] plugin from www.gconverters.com
