- Volunteer Dads as coaches, just like Timbits
- The quality of hockey is just like Timbits
- Due to the volunteer aspect of it, how much your son improves will be luck of the draw, just like Timbits. You may get a great coach, and you may get a kind hearted Dad who is doing his best.
- In the end, any ice time is great when your 6
- My son had a great time. Loved the full ice games of an hour in length.
If you have any specific questions, fire me a PM.

Good to know. Were there many additional expenses above and beyond the $500 registration fee? Do you live in the deep south which is why you played a lot at Southland? I'm somewhat concerned about the rinks. I don't want to be driving to Southland or Max Bell or Village Square from the NW during rush hour to get to hockey. It says they try to keep the rink selection close to your home community though.
