Blyth Brussels Minor Hockey: 2025
U6/U7 Jamboree Guidelines
Blyth Brussels Minor Hockey is gearing up for this year’s U6/U7 Jamboree being held on February 8, 2025 at the Brussels Arena.
The guidelines for hosting a “Jamboree” for initiation aged players has a focus oriented on fun. BBMHA is focused on making minor hockey a positive experience for all involved from players, coaches, parents and fans. This is NOT a tournament; it is for FUN!
Jamboree Games will be modified half-ice format with the nets set up as per OMHA guidelines in “Jamboree Policy 2022-2023”. The lightweight blue puck will be used (supplied by BBMHA). Face-offs will start each game. It will be a 5 versus 5 format (including the goalie), unless both teams agree to an alternate number of skaters prior to game start. Please have 1 bench staff per team on the ice with each game.
Shift length is set on a 2-minute buzzer; games are set at 44 minutes. If your team plays before/after the flood we would appreciate your on ice bench staff to support moving the boards for ice resurfacing.
*The last game of the day will be shortened by 6 minutes in order to hand out medals to all players.
