ABOUT US – AN UPDATE
2009-2010 marks Year # 6 in the history of the official
Junior Women’s League in Manitoba and across Canada. This
year we have had an excellent start to Registration for the
year and our Camp Tryouts begin Friday, September 11 at
6:00pm and run through the 3 days that weekend of the 11
Sept. to 13 Sept. at
Billy
Mosienko Arena.
On
the Home Page the times are shown and this week the teams
(all 6) will be posted on the website. Registration is still
open and will remain open for the month. Players of the ages
18 to 21 this league is for you! Graduates of High School
and the Midget leagues (both AA and A1) can come to this
league reassured that they can continue playing hockey and
still attend University and/ or College, work part time and
manage busy lives with family and friends. There is 1
practice per week, one to two games on a weekend and plenty
of time for “life’, as it is for you. As you know a good
healthy workout on the ice and a couple games a week will
help clear the head and keep the motor running. What a way
to beat the winter!
Cost
for the whole season of 50 plus games, practices and
tournament games are $780 for 2009-2010 which can be paid
over time. I paid more for my daughter when she played high
school, so the value is there. Players receive a home and
away pair of socks every year, are provided with team
(league owned) jerseys, have /certified coaches, an Athletic
Therapist at each league game, play with three person
officiating crews and play 2 periods of 15 minute hockey and
the third period at 20 minutes which is all stop time. This
cost also includes the MWJHL wind up and Awards dinner at
season end for all players besides a newly designed website
and a user friendly Pointstreak for up to date stats on your
team and other players.
If
you are curious and want to know more about the league
contact any executive member and/ or attend the tryouts and
games. Talk to our players as they are our best Ambassadors.
Special Events this year will be the 6th Annual
All Star game, the III Annual Lt. Governor’s Tournament
featuring teams from Canada and the USA Feb. 5-7, 2010. The
following weekend is something called the Olympics and we
will all be cheering for Team Canada in hockey.
