Blues Parent Info Night
The Blues will be holding our annual hockey info night on Monday, August 12th, 2024 at 7pm at Bob MacQuarrie Hall D: 1490 Youville Dr, Orleans.
This is for anyone interested in trying out for our Rep B program.  The Blues executives will present the Blues Hockey Program, provide an update on the Blues initiatives, introduce the 2024-25 coaches, explain the tryout and selection processes, and answer questions.  This will also be a chance for parents and players to meet the coaches, hear their philosophies and season plans, and have the opportunity to ask questions.

Hope to see you all there!

The Blues Rep B Hockey is a jointly operated hockey program for players registered with the Blackburn Minor Hockey Association (BMHA), the Orleans Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) and the Gloucester Centre Minor Hockey Association (GCMHA). Previously operated by the GCMHA and the OMHA as the GO Blues, this tripartite operation came into effect on June 13, 2015, and reflects the commitment of the three associations to provide a healthy and safe hockey environment for players interested and capable of playing on competitive level teams. The development of hockey skills and the opportunity to do so while having fun is a fundamental premise to The Blues operating philosophy. Governance for The Blues is provided by a six member committee representative of the three associations.
 
Teams are formed at the minor and major levels for each age division by bringing together players from the three associations and forming combined lineups. Coaches of these teams also are selected from within the three associations and must meet all requirements as set out by Hockey Canada and Hockey Eastern Ontario. Players aged anywhere from 9-10 through to 15-17 who are interested in playing competitive level hockey are all invited and encouraged to tryout for positions on one of our Blues teams.
 
TRYOUTS
 
Tryouts typically start on Labour Day weekend and run for about 10 days.  Tryouts for U12 to U16 Blues teams are tentatively set to commence on Sunday, September 1st, 2024.  The tryout schedule will be listed (Here) and is subject to change due to the new Hockey Canada Pathways being introduced this season for U12-U15 and as the total number of participants may induce change.  U18 is tentatively project to start late September.
