Hello and welcome to the 2025-26 District 3 Hockey Season!

I would like to take a moment to thank all the volunteers and members within District 3 for their hard work and dedication as we finish tryouts and prepare for the upcoming season.  Without our volunteers, this season would not happen – so thank you!

 With each new season, we want to start with a few reminders:

• We all represent District 3, our associations, and teams each time we step on the ice.
• All of us should practice and demand good sportsmanship and behavior towards our own players, coaches and fans, the officials, and opposing teams and fans.
• In the past few seasons, we have seen an increase in unacceptable behavior from players, coaches, parents, fans, and volunteers working the penalty box and timeclock. Unacceptable and inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. If it is witnessed, the individual will be asked to leave the facilities and may be subject to further disciplinary action.
• It is up to each of us to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

 I am asking all of us to respect the game, the officials, the players and coaches, and each other as we start this season.  Hockey is a game that should be fun to play and to watch, so let’s not lose sight of that.

 Best of luck as we start yet another great season of hockey in the great state of hockey!
