Stick Together Program a huge success
This winter the Nighthawks launched the Stick Together Program, providing free hockey programming for Indigenous Youth. The project is supported by the Community Sport for All Initiative (CSAI) and Field Hockey Canada’s Stick Together grant. The program’s focus is on inclusion, fun and participation and introduces the sport to youth aged 8-13.
The program is not only providing free sport-education but also transportation and access to equipment. If you know someone who may benefit from this program please have them reach out! To learn more visit the program page.
Annual General Meeting
Wed March 8th 6:30-8:30pm via Teams
The AGM is for members only. Please check your email to RSVP to the meeting.
It’s that time of year again! It’s time to close out the 2022 season and go through all the exciting 2023 plans.
This year the board is up for re-election. If you are interested or know someone who would make a great director please send us a message!
Get Ready for Outdoor
Schedule is now up!
The full schedule for the season is already posted and registration will be open by mid-February. Click the calendar icon to see the schedule!
How to get you AND your friend $20 off registration:
U10 and U12 are the seeds in our garden. We are always looking to recruit new juniors. This season, if you recruit a new U10 or U12 athlete to the Nighthawks you AND the new player will receive a $20 coupon to use for any future Nighthawk Program. When the new player registers they will just let us know who referred them and BOOM you’re both on the “free-$20-coupon-list”. The returning Nighthawk doesn’t have to do anything differently during registration.
Registration will be open in mid-February so make sure to check back often to register here!
School Programs - Looking for Teachers
The Nighthawks have been running clinics in elementary and middle schools for over a decade. We need your help to connect us with teachers at your school so we can continue to spread the word about field hockey!
We will bring our own equipment, coaches, and prizes and can run the clinics indoors or outdoors.
If you are a teacher interested in having a clinic at your school send us an email at info@nepeanfieldhockey.ca
