The success of our 'Support Your Sport' weekly draw program has put us in a strong position to give back to our community. And our annual Sweetheart Tournament wouldn't have grown to such a great tournament if it wasn't for all our volunteers and the result of many hours of work. "Thank You for Everyone's Support".

We're pleased to announce this great news with our hockey families.

The key changes and benefits for the 2025-2026 season include:

• Lowered Registration Rates: NRMHA will be lowering registration rates across various divisions for the 2025-2026 season.  (Player Registration based on household).

• U7- No change to rate ($400/player)

• U9 - U18 Divisions

• 1st Player $500

• 2nd Player $500

• 3rd Player $400

• No cost to any additional players

• U18- 4th Official Fee Covered: The 4th official fee for all U18 teams will now be fully covered by NRMHA, easing the financial burden on older divisions.

• Additional Ice Cost Coverage for "A/Rec" Divisions (U11-U15): In divisions with an odd number of teams where sharing ice is not feasible, NRMHA will cover the additional ice costs.

• Reduced NRMHA Fundraising Fee: The mandatory NRMHA  fundraising fee will be reduced from $80 to $50. The fundraising booklet will now consist of 10 tickets at $5 each.

• Increased NRMHA Fundraising Draw Prizes: To further incentivize participation and reward our dedicated fundraisers, the prizes for the fundraising draw have been increased:

• 1st Prize: $1000

• 2nd Prize: $600

• 3rd Prize: $500

• Gamesheet Fees for teams will be covered.

• GrayJay App- we will be covering the App’s full service fees for all teams from U9-U18.

• Provincial Fees Covered: Provincial fees will now be fully covered by a joint effort between NRMHA and the Sweetheart Tournament, provided the volunteer commitment for the team is fulfilled.

NRMHA extends its sincere gratitude to all the volunteers, sponsors, and participants who contributed to the success of the "SYS - Support Your Sport" program. This collective effort has directly enabled these positive changes, ensuring a brighter and more affordable hockey experience for all North River Minor Hockey players.

Sincerely,

NRMHA Board Members
