2009 - 2010 Season Overview

 

MISSION STATEMENT

 

The Metro Minor Hockey League is committed to providing a positive hockey experience for players, coaches and parents, based on the principles of sportsmanship, skill development, equal ice time, and fair play.

 

The MMHL Executive Committee, in cooperation with participating Minor Hockey Associations, must ensure team balance, in order to provide a fair and competitive environment in which the players can participate. It is also essential that coaches and managers abide by the Hockey Nova Scotia Minor Council Code of Ethics, and display the highest standards of personal integrity, competence, sound judgment and direction.

 

Also it is of the utmost importance that all players, coaches and parents show respect for the officials. Please remember, without the officials, games cannot be played.

Game Schedules

The only official schedule is the one posted on the MMHL website.

Coaches, players and parents should check the site regularly before games, as sometimes the schedule will change based on participating Associations’ ice time requests/issues and also for rescheduled games. Every effort however will be made not to change the schedule once posted. Most changes are the result of requests from associations to rescheduled games in order to make the most efficient use of ice time.

The schedule is comprised of approximately 32-36 games per team (except for Atom) and a Championship weekend held late in March. This year, the MMHL has teams registered  in Atom, PeeWee, Bantam, Midget and Minor Junior made up from eight different Minor Hockey Associations.
