 Program Details

• Saturday morning practice: Practices will rotate between Antigonish and Cape Breton.
• Friday Night House League: All players will continue to participate in their regular Friday night House League in their home region (Antigonish or Port Hood).
• 3–4 games per month: Games may be scheduled during the team's regular Saturday practice time or on Sundays.
• Travel: Some games will involve travel to locations such as New Glasgow, Truro, Sydney and Halifax.
• To keep the commitment manageable, we will also look to schedule games against nearby C teams, including AMHA, Strait and Canso, whenever possible.

 Goaltending
If we do not have a designated goalie, we will ask players to rotate through the goalie equipment. This will give players an opportunity to try the position and perhaps spark an interest in becoming a goalie next season.

 Looking Ahead
Once a coach is in place, the plan would be to use October primarily for practices and player development, with games beginning in November. The QC Board will assist with scheduling practices and games throughout the season.

Once the team is established and playing, we can also look at registering for a female tournament that fits best with the team's schedule.

Recreation Leadership Training

Recreation Nova Scotia has created a new Recreation Leadership Training Program in partnership with J. Griffin Consulting and Ready4 Consulting. The program will serve as a recognized training standard for frontline recreation leaders, particularly those working with children and youth in Nova Scotia.

The training equips leaders with the skills, confidence, and judgment to create safe, welcoming, and inclusive recreation environments. Through an engaging, play-based approach, participants will experience and practice best practices while applying them to real-life recreation scenarios.

Join Us at the RNS Annual Conference

Following the closing ceremonies of our Annual Conference, we will be hosting a Recreation Leadership Training session from 1:00–4:30 p.m. on October 15th at the Best Western Glengarry in Truro.

Space is limited to a maximum of 25 participants, so be sure to register soon to reserve your spot!

The RNS Awards Banquet is our annual opportunity to pay tribute to exceptional individuals, organizations, and communities that, through their programs, events, projects, and passion, have made outstanding contributions to building healthier communities and enhancing the quality of life for Nova Scotians through recreation.

Celebrating our accomplishments is as important as accomplishing them!
