It’s official: the Île-des-Chênes Minor Hockey Association (IDCMHA) will have ten home teams this year. After four weeks of practices, all teams were on the ice for the first Saturday of the regular season—eight at home and two away.
For those who want to spend more time at the rink, Île-des-Chênes will be hosting multiple tournaments this year: Atom (December 2–4), Novice (February 3–5), and Initiation (January 14). Details will be posted on the IDCMHA webpage (below). Registration is open and filling quickly. In addition to taking in the on-ice action, spectators will be able to grab a bite at the Zamboni Grill.
The IDCMHA wishes to thank Niverville and St. Adolphe for welcoming some Île-des-Chênes players into their rinks when there weren’t enough players to fill the roster. Île-des-Chênes’ Bantam players will join with St. Adolphe and the Midget players will play in Niverville. That is small town community spirit at work.
