🎉 10 Years of the Halifax MUSSELS! 🩷🏒
This year marks an incredible milestone: 10 years of the HALIFAX MUSSELS! What started as a small group with a vision of creating a safe, welcoming place to learn and play hockey has grown into an amazing community of players, coaches, officials, volunteers, families, and allies.
To celebrate our 10th season, we’re excited to introduce a new format that we hope will make hockey even more fun, welcoming, and accessible for everyone!
In addition to the weeknight league, our goal is for the weekend to become a complete player development pathway, from adults who are putting on skates for the very first time to those looking to continue building their skills, as well as our youth through the PQHL. Whether you’re a beginner or progressing to the next level, there will be a place for you to learn in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment.
📅 Registration opens July 18 during the Halifax Pride Parade and will remain open until the end of July.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make the past 10 years possible. Whether you’ve played, coached, volunteered, refereed, cheered from the stands, or supported us in any way; you’ve helped build something truly special.
Here’s to 10 years of coming out of our shells. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏒🦪
