Good day Second Shift families.
My name is Rob Symons and I'm happy to welcome you to our 2025-26 Second Shift season.
Our season begins Saturday, October 4 at 12:15 pm at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre on Rink 3.
For future reference, the following is a link to our calendar -

I will reach out with another email prior to our first skate, to ensure you know where you are going and what time to arrive. Over the next two weeks, it's important to ensure you have the equipment required (full equipment and stick), all equipment fits properly, and skates are sharpened. For equipment, we like Brant Sports Excellence (Fairview Drive) and College Sports Excellence (Charing Cross) in Brantford. Sport Chek and Canadian Tire are good options as well.
If you're new to hockey, try on the equipment a few times before our first skate of the season. Consider having skates on and walk around on carpet (with skate guards on) to get used to the feel. To double check how to wear the equipment, and make sure you have everything required, check out one of our First Shift videos at

See you at the rink soon!
