It’s Welcome Back Week, the official kickoff to the 2018-19 hockey season, when we celebrate getting back on the ice and giving back to the game we love.

Whether you’re taking your first strides or digging decades-old gear out of the rafters for another season of adult hockey, it’s an exciting time of year and an opportunity to write your hockey story on a fresh sheet of ice. For the coaches, it’s an opportunity to begin anew down the skill development path with an eager group of players. Imagine where they’ll be in March, after you’ve helped unlock their potential. And for the parents and volunteers, it’s time for the hockey family reunion, when we’re all together again at the rink, helping make memories that will last a lifetime.

Join in the celebration on social media by posting photos and videos of you back at the rink using #BackToHockey. Let's make it a great season!
