The Nepean Summer Sizzler is a festival for adult co-ed teams. It will be 11 a-side and 4 games are guaranteed. Register your team through the link below.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The Nighthawks goal is to provide playing opportunities for hockey players of all ages in the spirit of sport for life. This festival will be an environment where the hockey community can engage in friendly play, break bread, and connect.

Athletes can register as individual or as a team. Individuals will be placed on a ‘hat team’ for the festival to ensure each athlete is able to participate! 

This festival is co-ed and our intention is to have a reasonable gender balance from each team. Teams will be asked to have 4 men + 4 women on the field at all times. We are living in an inclusive era (woo!) so we leave it up to teams to use their judgement when it comes to athletes who identify somewhere else on the gender spectrum – the goal is having balanced teams. Goalies don’t count towards the 4 & 4. 

The tournament will include lunch for all and an on-site Athletic Therapist. Depending on the number of teams registered in each division there may be an increased number of games. 

PAYMENT

The team fee is $750 and the individual fee is $45. We ask that all payments be sent to payments@nepeanfieldhockey.ca by May 31st, 2024.

LOW WASTE EVENT

The Nighthawks are committed to doing our part to reduce unnecessary single use waste.  Sporting events can produce A LOT of waste, but they don’t have to. From piles of plastic water bottles to single use food containers and cutlery – we can do better. 

Our goals:

  • Eliminate plastic bottles
  • Eliminate single use foodware
  • Divert waste from landfill

What WE can do:

  • Provide a water refill station
  • Provide reusable plates and cutlery
  • Provide recycling and compost bins on site

What YOU can do:

  • Bring your own water bottle(s)
  • Bring your own plate and cutlery
  • Avoid bringing waste to the site and use the provided bins when necessary

More examples of ways you can reduce your waste at the event are to opt for package free and homemade snacks over individually packaged items, bring your own travel mug for  morning coffee run(s), and have the schedule on your phone instead of printing it out.

VOLUNTEERS, UMPIRES, AND SPONSORS

The Nighthawks rely on volunteers for successful events. We need technical officials, umpires, food coordinators, water coordinators, managers, sponsors, and people to set-up and take-down after all the fun.

Please send us a message to volunteer or express interest of sponsorship for these events.
