-Only Week 1 registration is released to allow us to address any issues that may come up, then we will release the remaining schedule by the end of the week 1.

-Remember to ONLY RESERVE (Skate) 1 session PER DAY.

-Pay attention to the groups... some sessions are combined, like all Squirts or BT 06/07 (combined).  Other sessions are year specific, like separate BT06 or BT07.  Sign up appropriately for your player.

-To clarify. there is NO designation as a Team 1 or 2. Group A is one section of ice. Group B is another section of ice, etc... to comply with social distancing.  Lets get the kids on their skates and active again.  Teams will sort out at tryouts in the fall.

Here are the direct links to each level as well:

MITE SESSIONS

SQUIRT SESSIONS

PEEWEE SESSIONS

BANTAM SESSIONS

(There are no midget at this time... no promises but it may be added in a couple of weeks)

UPDATE as of 5/26

We are on track to begin the Return to Skate sessions Monday June 1st!  

And below is the ice schedule for the first week of June 1st.  Registration is still being finalized and will open with instructions as soon as it is ready.  You will then be able to secure your spot(s) for the slots that fit your schedule.

At Heartland, the safety protocols are in place following the guidelines set forth for Phase 3 in Illinois, and we will be ready for the kids to safely return to the ice.

NOTE: To further assure the safety for everyone in the rink, we have also decided to delay the start of dryland (HPT) sessions for us Bulldogs until we are at Phase 4; which should be in July.  We will open the registration to HPT sessions when we are approved for Phase 4.

As we Return to Skating, we ask that you please help us to assure the health and safety of our players by respecting and following the guidelines and instructions from employees at the rink as well as our Bulldogs coaches and volunteers.  Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Please continue to stay safe and well.  Let us know if you have any questions.
