Why Choose us?
It's a question many parents face... which minor hockey organization to enroll their children in?
So why choose us?
At KC South, the number one goal is fun. This applies not only to the young players, but also their coaches and parents.
Being a smaller organization, we can be more personable than other larger, minor hockey organizations. Many members have created lifelong friendships, lasting long past when their children's minor hockey careers are over.
We offer one of the lowest introductory registration rates going. This allows your youngster to learn to skate if required and try the game of hockey, without a major financial cost to the parents.
In the summer, KC South holds conditioning camps for players at a very low cost or free of charge. This allows the young stars to work out the kinks of summer vacation and be prepared for the upcoming season. We also purchase extra ice time for the teams, whenever possible.
KC South is part of a larger organization in our city, the Knights of Columbus. With it's 60 years of tradition... and stability!
We cannot succeed without volunteers
Every year a new crop of players comes up through the system and existing players flourish as they get older. It's exciting for parents to see the growth in their child through the years but it cannot be done without volunteers. I started coaching about 7 years ago after taking a 22 year break from skating... it's not like riding a bike let me tell you. I was little wobbly at first but with each passing year improved along with the kids. I still fall from time to time, and the kids get a good laugh from it. If you've not been on skates in a few years don't let that hold you back from helping out. It's great exercise as well.
As teams are formed there will be requests for extra coaches, jersey parents, time keepers, tournament parent, etc. Please do not sit on your hands when the call comes. Volunteering for these positions makes the year run so much smoother for all involved, including the players. At the end of the year there is a volunteer appreciation dinner for all who helped out as a thank you for your time and effort.
Coaches are always needed at the younger levels and if the main excuse is you do not have time, you'll be surprised how much time you do have. You may also think you are not as agile as you used to be... that does not matter, you're more agile then those players learning to skate. You say you've never played hockey competitively but can skate or maybe you were a figure skater... perfect, they need you on the ice.
