ST. ALBERT MINOR HOCKEY PROGRAMS
Elite Hockey
The St. Albert Raiders Hockey Club provides Elite stream hockey (AA & AAA) for St. Albert Minor Hockey Association players within the defined boundaries of Hockey Alberta. Players in this stream of play are selected by coaches through a tryout process and play for the St. Albert Raiders.
The Vision of the St. Albert Raiders Hockey Club is to be recognized as an elite, progressive and successful hockey club, pre-eminent in Alberta for its successful and competitive teams and for providing a positive hockey experience for all participants.
Community Hockey
Players in the St. Albert Minor Hockey Association Tiered Hockey (STA) program are placed on teams with players of similar skill and ability. STA teams travel throughout the Edmonton area to play approximately 18-20 game season. St. Albert Minor Hockey Association is a member of the Edmonton Federation Hockey League (EFHL) and follows the playing rules outlined by the EFHL.
In addition to this, teams have regular weekly practices. There may be additional costs associated with this stream of hockey.
Recreation Hockey
SAMHA remains committed to offering a Recreational Hockey option through the Edmonton Federation Hockey League (EFHL) for players in U11, U13, U15, and U18. This league provides participants with a less structured program with 1-2 initial meet-and-greet practices and 18 games during the season. The focus is on participation, fun and meeting new people. It is a non-body-checking alternative to the current community hockey stream.
