Hello
Please post associations that you know do not have a JUNIOR GOLD team and where those kids would sign up to play in order to do so.

Thanks

if your association does not have Jr.Gold you can do 3 things.

1.Not play hockey

2. Go to your Hockey Board of directors and Opt out of your home district. Find a suitable near by community that you can play JR Gold with. To opt out your have to have your hockey board's approval. If you know that your community does not have JR Gold, i would suggest doing that sooner than later. It is helpful to know what skill level you would best fit at, and talk to that coach in that particular Community. if your a sophomore plan on playing U16 or Jr Gold B. If your a junior or senior, JGB or JGA might be where you end up.

3.Sign up for the XL league in Minnesota. It is a no check league that is for fun and recreation. No playoffs or Tournaments, and all games are played at the U of M.


hope this helped.

Typically the associations won't know until next fall if they will have the numbers to support a Junior Gold program at any level.

If you are looking for teams, most metro area districts have Jr Gold Coordinators on their board and can help players looking for teams, also for associations that might be planning on having players new to that level, if not contact the District Director of the District where you live.
