Dear Mites parents,

I hope you are having a lovely summer.

Thank you to everyone who shared input regarding our Mites and Mini-Mites programs. Your feedback played an important role in guiding our decisions. With that, I’d like to share the decisions that have been made by our executive team on both programs.

Mites Program

The Mites program will remain unchanged for the upcoming season. We expect to have approximately four teams and will continue to provide the same structure and level of play as in previous years.

Mini-Mites Program

The Mini-Mites program will follow a phased approach this season. During the first half of the season, games will be played without scorekeeping or penalties to help players adjust and build confidence. In the second half, we will gradually introduce both to support learning and development. Players will be grouped until Christmas, and we may adjust or merge teams based on how things progress.

We will continue to do our best to accommodate sibling and friend requests, however we cannot guarantee any placement. Registration for Mini-Mites will remain open through Christmas, and we will promote the program as a pilot to generate additional interest. At this time, we expect to form approximately two teams. In this division, team goals – not individual stats – will be tracked to encourage group development. We will focus on introducing the kids to our sport in a fun, non-pressured way. 

In summary, the Executives have opted to maintain the current structure of the Mites program and implement a more gradual, development-focused approach for Mini-Mites. We will continue to evaluate the pilot Mini-Mites program throughout the season and make adjustments if needed. 

Thank you once again for your continued support. We look forward to a fun and rewarding season ahead. Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Warm regards,

Dear RCFHA Members,

With our AGM wrapped up just a few weeks ago, I’d like to formally introduce our new Executive Team and share our goals for the season ahead.

You can view the full Executive Team on our website. With 24 dedicated members, this is the largest Executive Team in our league’s history! We recently held our first meeting, where we aligned on the values and direction we want to take the league this year.

At the core of our vision is our community. What sets RCFHA apart is the people who make it what it is—players, parents, coaches, and volunteers alike. Those who’ve experienced this league firsthand understand how special and welcoming it is. This year, our top priority is nurturing that community: ensuring that everyone feels welcome, valued, and heard. We’re committed to putting our members first—fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy our sport in a way that reflects the spirit of our league.

We’re also renewing our commitment to the core values that have defined the RCFHA for decades: fun, fairness, respect, and safety. RCFHA is a non-contact league, and we will continue to emphasize safety, inclusivity, and enjoyment for all participants. Whether you are stepping on the floor, coaching from the bench, refereeing a game, or cheering from the stands, we ask everyone to uphold a spirit of sportsmanship and mutual respect, including us as Executives. We’re also placing a stronger emphasis on sportsmanship and positive culture—both on and off the floor. RCFHA was built on the foundation of a community-first mentality, and this is something we want to re-focus on this year.

More than just a league, RCFHA is a place for growth. We take seriously the trust you place in us to contribute to your child’s development—not just in floor hockey, but in leadership, teamwork, and character. Many of us, myself included, have grown up through this league, and we want to ensure today’s players have that same opportunity to thrive in a supportive, positive environment.

We are looking forward to the opportunity of working with you to help us achieve these goals over the upcoming season. We are making changes to improve communication and engagement between the Executive and our members. These improvements will be shared before the season begins, and we believe they will help build even stronger connections across the league. We want to mitigate miscommunication and foster a space where anyone can feel comfortable expressing themselves, and we are excited to work on implementing these changes.

Whether we serve 5 members or 500, our commitment is the same: to deliver the highest quality sport experience we can for all members of our community. We’re proud of what RCFHA stands for—and it’s all thanks to you.

Thank you for being part of this incredible community. We look forward to an exciting and meaningful season ahead!

Hi everyone,

This spring, we are excited to offer you three options for RCFHA Spring 2025 Drop-In Hockey.

Important: As per all RCFHA programs, players are expected to follow general Cosom rules. Referees are NOT provided. We encourage self-enforcement, equal playing time, sportsmanship and having fun. Remember to sign the waiver! 🙂

ADULT COMPETITIVE – This is a higher skilled, fast paced, intermediate-to-advanced option for adult players looking to learn from and compete against the best. Players should choose this option if they are looking for a drop-in environment that is competitive and strategic with game-play. This option is most similar to the Regular Season, but is more relaxed with less of a focus of rule enforcement and more of a “pick-up the game as you go” type of environment.

• Boyd – 7:30-9:30PM – Tuesdays – Apr 1 to June 3 except May 8 @ Gym A&B
• Boyd – 7:30-9:30PM – Thursdays – Apr 3 to June 5 except May 8 @ Gym A

First year Bantam players are welcome!

ADULT NON-COMPETITIVE – This is a beginner-level skill, lower paced, beginner-to-intermediate option for adult players looking to keep in shape and play hockey. We created this option after hearing there were a number of parents who would love to play Cosom, but were discouraged by the fast gameplay of the Adult division. Players should choose this option if they are looking to learn how to play Cosom hockey, are looking for a social environment, or would like to play Cosom hockey in a lower-stakes environment to remain physically active. If you are a highly skilled, competitive player, we encourage you to attend the Competitive Drop-In option instead.

• Burnett – 7:30-9:30PM – Thursdays – Apr 10 to June 12 except May 8 @ Gym A&B
• Apr 10, Apr 17, Apr 24, May 1, May 15, May 22, May 29, Jun 5 and Jun 12.
