It was amazing to see so many people at our first pre season practice this week. The minors had their first practice at Knoxdale Public School, while U14 and above continue to practice at Algonquin Dome. It is exciting to see so many people register through Play HQ; as of today, we have 42 juniors, 21 youth and 7 minors, 17 of which are new to the club. It looks like it is going to be an incredible season and we are only getting started.

You can register using this Play HQ link and the attached instructions. For any issues please contact Ross Annett at registration@barrhavenscottish.com.

We are just waiting for the final details of our club shop to be completed. However, while you wait, you can check out all the clothing options in the Macron shop. Stephanie will be at the dome next Saturday with samples if you want to try before you buy.
