Hockey Saskatchewan would like to remind all Minor Hockey Associations, leagues, team officials, and members of an approved change to the start date for U9 and U11 game play for the 2026-27 season.

As approved through the Notice of Motions process at the Hockey Saskatchewan Board of Directors meeting in April 2026, the start date for U9 and U11 game play was changed to November 1, from the previous start date of November 15.

Effective for the 2026-27 season, U9 and U11 exhibition, tournament, and league games may begin on November 1, 2026.

All Minor Hockey Associations and leagues are asked to ensure their schedules and communications reflect this change.

For reference, please review the 2026 Combined Notice of Motions: https://hockeysask.ca/pub/News/Memorandums%20(Files)/2026combined-noms.pdf

If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact Hockey Saskatchewan.

Thank you.
