U13 Lakers
U13 Lakers are 11 & 12 years old, and for the 2022/2023 season that means their year of birth is 2012 and 2011. Our U13 Lakers play in the Central Alberta Hockey League (CAHL).
SLMHA is also host to the West Central Hub who provide U13 players with the opportunity to play at the AA level. This is the West Central U13 Tigers. If you wish to tryout for the U13 AA Tigers, there is a $150.00 Tryout Fee applied to U13AA Registration Fees.
My name is Brandon Knelsen and the 2022-2023 season is my first year on the SLMHA Board. I started playing hockey at a young age and still love the game today.
I want to see kids have a positive, enjoyable experience while also developing and improving in a pursuit to get to the next level. U13 consists of 2012 & 2011 born kids this year and there will be several teams at different levels. I look forward to getting to know all the kids and parents as the year goes along.
