To help lessen the potential need for refunds, in the event the season is cancelled or cut short, we created a 5-payment plan with our registration system.  Once you reach the payment section of the registration there will be a payment plan option that you must select.  Payment 1 will be a non-refundable deposit for $5.  The subsequent payments will be split over 5 additional payments: October 1st , November 1st, December 1st, January 2nd, and February 1st.  Note, any jersey or sock payments will be added to the initial $5 payment, by the system. This process helps to lessen the burden of credit card fees if the season is cancelled or cut short.   Also, please be advised that the registration system added a new fee as of late last year.  Each payment will have a $3 service fee added.  Please make sure to select the Payment Plan, as shown below, during checkout.  We are going to try and do as much as possible via electronic forms of payment, checks or cash will not be accepted for registration.  There was a lot of confusion last year processing checks/cash, especially with the refunds that were necessary.  Learn to Skate registration is also open via the website, there is only pay if full for this.

Like other organizations we are balancing the different regulations that the State has in place, as well as taking into consideration the plan the City of Sunbury is finalizing for our rink.  Prompt registration helps us to understand this year’s attendance and plan accordingly for an early October start date.  More to come on the various COVID avoidance tactics we need to adhere to since they are not concrete yet; however please plan for the following possibilities:

  • Masks required for all of the those who are in the rink until a helmet is put on
  • No spectators will be allowed in the building
    • We have been working with LiveBarn to try to have it installed at the rink before the season begins.  This will give parents and others at least some avenue to watch via a mobile device https://livebarn.com/
  • Water bottles should be supplied by each participant, no community water bottles
  • No spitting
  • Temperature checks for the players before entry
  • Locker room people restrictions and social distancing
  • 25 or less on the ice

As we have seen, things can change very quickly. Please have expectations that the season may end prematurely and/or various regulations may be put in place or lifted last minute.  To reiterate, the rink still has not finalized their required COVID plan. We will pass along as soon as this information is available.  We also may have changes depending on what other rinks or programs decide to do throughout the season.  Our season may encompass simply practicing and scrimmaging within the Stampede program only, no outside games or tournaments.  Like was already stated, this season will require some flexibility and understanding that it could change at any time.

Stampede wins big at the 2020 York Rec Tournament

The Sunbury Stampede was able to capture first place in all 3 divisions at the 2020 York Rec Hockey Tournament. The Bantam team was able to outlast the Piedmont Predators in a thrilling overtime victory to capture a 4-3 win. The Pee Wee and Squirt 1 teams were also able to secure victories without losing a game all weekend. The Stampede entered a second Squirt team who all played with amazing hustle and work to end the weekend with 2 wins and 2 losses.

Great job Stampede!

Registration and Open Hockey

We are excited to say registration for the 2018-2019 season is available at:

http://sunburystampedehockey.com/registration/

Please use the online registration if at all possible as it makes the necessary paper work and tracking much simpler for the staff.  (any issues or questions please email svyhlpa@gmail.com)

A couple of notes regarding online registration:

  • Use the same account from last year unless you are new to the program.  (password reset is available on the login page)
  • Check payment is possible when going through the registration, just select Check instead of Credit Card as the payment type.
  • A payment plan is available if using a credit card, half is due at the time of sign up and half will auto deduct from the same credit card 12/1. (this only applies to the program fees not Jersey / Socks)
  • If Jersey or Sock sizing is not known at time of sign up, add them to your cart but select NONE for the sizes and just email  svyhlpa@gmail.com when sizing is known.

The Schedule for October is posted here: http://sunburystampedehockey.com/schedule/  

The Learn to Skate and Power Skate programs only run until October, an additional practice will be added in November for each program.  More details to follow when that is finalized.

Also, on Saturday September 29th 9AM – 12PM the following will be happening at the Sunbury Rink:

  • Pick up hockey for any of those registered for the program
  • In person electronic registration for those that would like assistance
