Atoms

News - Cody and Riley

Cody and Riley at the Canberra Knights game on Saturday May 21. The Knights will be inviting two Atom players to lead the team onto the ice at each home game. This week it was Cody and Riley, dressed in Canberra Knights jerseys that lead the team onto the ice and cheered them on to victory!

GENERAL INFORMATION

No-one but Coaches, children playing and officials are allowed on the benches during games. All parents are to remain in the stands at all times. This is a safety issue as you are not covered by our insurance if you are not in the stands behind the nets.

If your child needs anything, they can direct the need to the coach who will then instruct the child on how to proceed. At no time is a non-playing child EVER allowed near the benches. This includes the area between the male changeroom and the benches. This area is not protected by nets.

Thanks for your co-operation in this matter.

ATOMS (11 & UNDER)

Atoms hockey is open to girls or boys aged 11 and under. At this level of ice hockey there is no body checking or slapshots.

Training

During the season the Atoms train once a week on Tuesdays from 5:00 pm until 6:00 pm. Extra training sessions may be booked in the run-up to National Championships.

Players are expected to arrive at training sessions at least one-half hour before the scheduled time to ensure that they are in their equipment and ready to take to the ice, as soon as available. Remember neck guards and mouth guards are compulsory, and players will not be allowed on the ice with them. We recommend custom-fitted mouth guards, to protect teeth and mouth, as well as help prevent any concussion.

Competition

The Atoms compete locally in the ACTIHA local league. Games are played on Sundays from 3:45 pm to 5:45 pm in Canberra at the Phillip Ice Rink.
