WELCOME to the

CUMBERLAND CASTORS

Due to the weather conditions,

this game has been CANCELLED

Please come out this Sunday, November 9th, to support your local Junior C hockey team for their first annual Cumberland Castors CAF "Remembrance Day" Appreciation Game which will honor all Canadian Armed Forces members.

Warm-up starts at 7:00 PM, the Ceremony/Puck Drop is scheduled for 7:30 PM at Ray Friel Pad 1

*Admission is Free for all CAF members - Doors open at 6:45 PM

Your Cumberland Castors will be welcoming a special guest for the Ceremonial Puck Drop - Brigadier-General Vanessa Hanrahan, Canadian Forces Provost Marshal. Come help show your support and join us in a Moment of Silence before the puck drop. Local military members have also been invited to attend. Our Local Cadet Corps will also be present to sell poppies at the entrance.

Two Dukes players (U13 & U15) will participate as flag bearers, carrying the Canadian Flag and the CAF Ensign while representing Cumberland Minor Hockey. Cumberland Jr. Grads U13AA will be at the Game supporting the Castors and selling “Grand In Your Hand” raffle tickets for their 2025 Season Fundraiser.

We look forward to seeing you at this very special game! And of course, GO Castors GO, as they face off against the undefeated Vankleek Hill Cougars.

WHO we are and WHY we do this?

We are small group of non-parent volunteers that have been involved with Junior hockey in various roles for almost two decades. The reason is simple – we are passionate about hockey! We hope to provide a place for local players to play high-calibre hockey without the time commitment required by the higher junior levels (including the travel involved).

If you take a quick look through our current and past players, you will see that most of them played at a competitive level throughout their minor hockey years. For whatever reason, be it post-secondary education or full-time employment, when they age out of minor hockey, many players choose not to pursue higher levels of junior hockey.

Our Junior C team provides a place for players to continue playing high-calibre competitive hockey, but with one weekday evening practice per week and 1-2 games, almost always on weekends. Our program allows players to stay active, develop new friendships and continue with the sport they love. From time to time we get scouts pop up at our games – for those at the top of their game, there are often opportunities for affiliation with higher junior level teams.

Why we charge admission?

We charge a small admission to our games mainly to cover the ever-rising cost of ice rental and referee payment (four-officials system). Any additional funds that we are able to secure go right back to the team (e.g. skate sharpening, equipment repair, etc.).

We appreciate everyone’s support however big or small.

Come out to our games to support the boys!

(our usual home game time is 7:30 pm on most Sundays)

GO Castors GO!!!
