Full-Time Goalie Position
Beginning in the Under 12 (Minor Peewee) division, players may choose to become a full-time goalie. In divisions where there are players who only want to play goal, the convenor shall ensure that these players are equally distributed among the teams. If there are more goalies than teams, the position must be shared equitably on as many teams as necessary to accommodate all goalies.
A full-time goalie position cannot be guaranteed as it is dependent on the number of players who want to play in goals in a division in any given year. The division convenor will allocate goalies on as equitable a basis as possible among teams in the division.
Players will receive a hockey jersey, socks, insurance, & pictures.
