INFORMATION
Welcome to the 10TH anniversary of London 911 Hockey. I started this league with the hopes of improving and enhancing the camaraderie of all related emergency services in the area, while enjoying Canada's great pass-time.
We are going strong as a 6 team league, and have quite a wide array of emergency service workers playing, including Firefighters, Police Officers, Paramedics, Doctors,and Nurses.
The teams will be randomly picked with an even number from each respective service, to give everyone a chance to get to know those you have been working alongside.
All skill levels are welcome, and the teams will be re-picked at the beginning of each year. Please respect each other, I am pretty sure the chance of cracking the "bigs" is over.
GOALIES
It is your responsibility to arrange for a replacement for any games that you are unable to play. Refer to your back-up list, and notify your team rep. Please try to give as much notice as possible to the replacement.
