Initiation Program

Directors

Hello IP Parents! My name is Chad Matsalla, IP Director for Yorkton Minor Hockey. I can't tell you how exciting this time of year is, getting back into the rink after a long summer, or heading to the arena for the first practice ever for some of these young hockey players is such a fun time! Our IP Season kicks off with the IP Jamboree on Sunday October 14th at the Gallagher Centre/Farrell Agencies Arena. After the Jamboree on Sunday we will be running practices every Wednesday and Saturday at the Kinsmen Arena. Here is the Schedule for Sundays events.

This event is run by The Saskatchewan Hockey Association and they will have reps on-ice leading the drills. During the Meeting Part of the jamboree we will have the kids doing some dry land activities, this way the parents can focus on the few things we need to cover, so its not a bad idea for the kids to have some shoes they can run in.  Here are the groups....
