Everyone

The 2020 Summer skills program registration has been disabled until tomorrow night. We are looking at the numbers for each session and may have to make adjustments to meet the state guidelines that have been sent out in draft form.

We have also had to make another change in ice venues. Stoneham Ice arena has been closed by the city and will not reopen until sometime in August. We are going to move our program to the Salem Ice Center in Salem NH.  The Ice Center is working on the final version of the schedule that we will communicated as soon as we receive it from the management this week.

We will not begin on June 15th. We are looking to have our first night the week of June 29th.

There will be a few changes. We will publish the proposed sessions , but not final tomorrow afternoon. At that time we will publish how many spots will be left in each session, and how many are over our state mandated limit. If a session is over subscribed we will ask players to move if needed based on Registration date. Thanks!
