Strathroy Carodoc Youth Hockey
Hello Parents,
Thank you all for registering your children in Strathroy Caradoc Youth Hockey, we hope to have an enjoyable season. Below are a few items that need to be communicated to parents:
1. We will be holding a meeting for our coaches/assistant coaches on Wednesday September 18th at 7:00pm at West Middlesex
Memorial Centre in the upstairs boardroom to pick the teams and finalize the schedule.
2. If you still have jerseys or team bags from the previous season, please return them ASAP to Strathroy Sports.
3. We are currently looking for a referee convenor. You would be in charge of coordinating our refs from week to week, and signing volunteer papers. Please contact us if you’re interested in helping with this in any way.
4. The league starts on October 19/20. Your child’s coach will be letting you know what team your child is on at the beginning of October.
5. Students in age group D (high school students) - this is just a reminder that games will be held on Friday nights.
6. We are looking for any high school aged students that are interested in refereeing our Group B and Group C players. Volunteering can be used for high school community hours. We are also seeking referees for our D group. This will be a paid position. Please contact us if you’re interested in this opportunity.
Thank you,
The SCYH Committee

Currently we have the maximum number of players that can play within our league. Therefore, we would strongly recommend that you register your players early to ensure that they can play next season.
Early Registration - April 5 2024 - September 1, 2024. Cost $240
Late Registration - After September 1, 2023. Cost $280
Important Note: Late registration does not guarantee that your player will be added to a team. On September 1, at the end of the business day, we will be collecting all registration forms/fees from our P.O. Box and Strathroy Sports. Any registration forms that are not collected by the end of this business day will automatically be considered late and the fee to play will be $280 without a guarantee to be placed on a team.
Forms of payments: Cheque, Cash, e-transfers (e-transfers preferred)
E-transfers are emailed to info@scyh.ca
Equipment Return
All equipment (jerseys, goalie gear, referee jerseys, pylons, pucks, etc.) need to be returned to the coach on the last day of hockey.
If you know that your player is going to miss the last week of hockey, please give the jersey to the coach the week prior.
If for whatever reason you are not able to hand in your childs jersey (i.e., your child is sick the last week of hockey), you need to make your own arrangements to get the jersey back to your child's coach.
Coaches, all jersey and goalie equipment needs to be returned to STRATHROY SPORTS by April 26, 2024. We need to have the equipment professionally cleaned and organized for next season.
Referees
Thank you for your assistance this season. Please ensure that you have a SCYH Committee member sign-off on your high school volunteer hour sheets.
Please return your referee jersey to your coach (or a coach of the last game that you referee) at the end of the season.
Team Pictures
Team Pictures will be taken Jan/Feb of each season. Pictures will be team only not individuals.
