Welcome to the Bedford Blues U7 Hockey!

We're very excited to be getting our season underway!  Everyone should have received an email notification that the dates and times for our initial Orientation sessions are posted below.  These are not our final teams for the season as some adjustments will still be made after Orientation.  The times for the October 23rd-31st sessions will also NOT be your players assigned time for the year as this is pre-season ice only and our regular season schedule will change.  We are working with our Ice Scheduler regarding our regular season times, and these will be posted as soon as we know them.

All of the Orientation sessions will be taking place at the HRM 4-Pad, 61 Gary Martin Drive in Bedford (the former BMO Centre).  Make sure you use the correct entrance for both players and spectators (both now enter via the same entrance) as can be seen in the photo below.  The entrance to Pad A (not shown) is to the far left side of the building.  Signs are posted outside for all Pad entrances.  Pad C enters throught the right half of the main doors, while Pad D enters to the far right side of the main building.

Below is the schedule and groups for our pre-season sessions.  Each player will receive 1 time each day.  Players are to come with their FULL hockey equipment, including neck guards.  For safety reasons, any player without a neck guard will not be allowed on the ice.  Here is a picture of the required hockey equipment:

Each player will be provided with a Timbits hockey jersey and socks once the teams are formed.  These will be given at the start of the regular season.  If you don't have a jersey for the Orientation practices, please notify Kyla Burry at k.burry@bedfordblues.com that you would like to borrow one for the day.  We unfortunately don't have socks that we can lend out.

If you have applied to Coach, your email address will be forwarded to the Head Coach leading each Group.  If you haven't received an email from them by Friday, please reach out to Kyla Burry at k.burry@bedfordblues.com.

Here are some additional points to remember:

• Make sure you go to the correct entrance for each Rink. 
• All people 12 years of age and older need to provide Proof of Vaccination and approved ID to enter the facility.
• Only those who show proof of vaccination may enter to tie skates - No Exceptions.
• No food or drink are permitted in the facility.
• Masks are required at all times in the facility.
• Please stay home if you are sick.
• Parents with Proof of Vaccination are allowed in the dressing rooms.
• Please check carefully each Pad you're assigned each day as the Pads change.
• If you're having difficulty finding your player's name, try looking at the website on a computer versus a mobile device, or do a search using Ctrl-F.  You can also change your mobile device to landscape view to see the entire page or in your browser setting select "Desktop site" to view the entire page.
