What is the difference between RECreational (REC) and REPresentative (REP) hockey? 

Players can choose to go directly to RECreational C teams or may be assigned there following REPresentative evaluations. Click HERE to see a comparison of REC VS. REP hockey. 

MEIFHA plans on offering the following teams for the 2024 - 2025 season:
  • U7 - Introductory Program 
  • U9 - Intermediate & Developing
  • U11 - REP 'AA' & 'A' and REC 'C'

  • U15 - REP 'AAA' & 'AA' & 'A' - REC 'C'  *Possibly - Under discussion*

  • U7 & U9 Development/Intermediate: no separate evaluations, possible balancing.
  • U11C, U13C (REC): no separate evaluations required, possible balancing.

YES EVALUATIONS, if they'd like to be considered to play U11AA/A, U13AAA/AA/A, U15AAA/AA or U18AA:

  • U11AA & U11A (REP) Hopefuls: AA Evaluations required.

Please note: All players wishing to be evaluated for REP hockey MUST SELECT EVALUATIONS DURING the REGISTRATION process and pay the additional fee to be guaranteed a spot in the process. See the proposed schedule template for September 2024 HERE.

 

What is the difference between Evaluations & Balancing?

'AAA' & 'AA' & 'A' Representative (REP) Player Evaluations may consist of skills session(s)/small area game(s)/intrasquad game(s)/practice(s) to determine 'AAA' & 'AA'  & 'A' REP team placement (except U15A & U18A).  Please note the level of REP play may differ for each age group. Take note which REP teams are available for your player, referring to the list of teams outlined above. Players may choose not to participate in the REP evaluation process and be placed directly onto a recreational 'C' (REC) team, (or 'A' level REP teams if no REC 'C' team is offered in a given age division), but may still be required to complete Balancing depending on the number of MEIFHA teams in any given season.  Please note:  For 2024-25 No players in U11 or U13 may choose to be placed directly on an 'A' team as there will be REC 'C' teams.

Balancing is the process whereby players are evaluated to enable all teams within the same division be given equal opportunity to compete. It may consist of practice(s) and/or intrasquad game(s).  Balancing is essential to ensure all players have similar experiences throughout the season and will occur at any level with sufficient numbers to warrant multiple teams within a division in our association. 

Special Note for U18 Major Hopefuls:

If you are competing for a spot in the Maritime Major Female Hockey League (MMFHL) MEIFHA requests that you contact our VP Administration at vpadmin@metroeastinferno.ca to announce your U18 Major bid and to confirm your possible participation in the MEIFHA REP Evaluation process, no later than August 1st, 2024.  Once the U18 Major Team Selection Process has been completed, you must register with MEIFHA in order to proceed to MEIFHA REP Evaluations for U18 'AA.'  Players registering after the deadline, due to late release from the U18 Major process should contact vpadmin@metroeastinferno.ca before registering, if they wish to join Preseason Development Sessions.  This can only be accommodated if space permits. The deadline for U18 Major Hopefuls to register for the MEIFHA U18 'AA' REP Evaluation process will be one day following the final SURGE team announcement. Those moving on to camps with other teams must inform the registrar by said deadline to be guaranteed a spot in Inferno U18 AA Evaluations.

**Every effort will be made to hold U18AA Evaluations AFTER U18 Major teams are named.
