Sports

Our Sports Director is interested your ideas for sports in the community. Currently Adult Hockey, Indoor and Outdoor Soccer and Tennis are the main focus of the sports program, but there is potential for other community sports including volleyball, basketball and floor hockey.

To contact the Sports Director, email sports@highlandscommunity.ca

Adult Hockey

Folks of all skill levels are welcome. This will be no hit, full equipment hockey. We will divide teams each week and seek to ensure that we have goalies for every game.

We will limit the number of skaters to 28 per night. I am sure however, that there will be lots of nights with only 2 lines per team. Friends can join us to a max of 5 times for $20 per skate.

In order to sign up contact Howard Lawrence at (780)707-9501 or send an e-mail howardlawrence@shaw.ca or simply drop off a cheque for $280 at 11220-62st.

Saturday Shinny Hockey

Have you seen the Highlands ice? If you need reason to put your skates on and try the ice out, join us for Saturday for shinny hockey!

Skating

During the skating season, the following Skating Guidelines are strongly enforced during all public skate times. Please take a moment to read through this document as it is important to all skaters sharing the ice.

Minis (6 - 8 years)
6 vs 6 on 1/2 a field.  Field is split with a special net that has goal areas marked.   Dozens and dozens of parents and siblings cheering them on in the stands makes this an exciting group to watch!  Games for this group usually run Saturday mornings.

U10 - U18
6 vs 6 on a full field.   Fast paced like hockey, player changes on the fly, no off side’s, pass the ball off the boards to a team mate or yourself and shoot to score!   It's a game like no other.  Exciting and fun.  Games for these groups usually run Saturdays or Sundays.

Tennis

The Highlands Community Tennis Association (HCTA) was formed in 2010 with the support of the Highlands Community League to further the development of tennis in the Highlands and surrounding communities.

Their goal is to introduce tennis to the community through structured social tennis events and lessons offered by our certified tennis professionals. We are passionate about the game and looking forward to see the community picking up tennis as a lifetime sport.
