The Mid-Isle Matrix Association has offered fun, competitive hockey for the Rustico, North River, Kensington and Southside area for a number of years. With the growing number of children registered in hockey programs each season and the growth of the initiation programs in the four associations - this shows great promise for the future of minor hockey in the Matrix Zone. This is an event to increase awareness of the Matrix Association and to get the younger players excited to play for Matrix.

The Matrix Board is working to come up with new and exciting ways to support, improve and enhance the Matrix Association. This happens through the work of volunteers and additional volunteers are always welcome.

Note that commitment to play Matrix AAA hockey over the upcoming winter season is not required to participate in the ball hockey tournament. However, Matrix Association members will be on hand with league and registration information for anyone seeking more details.

The Matrix Board is pleased to announce the Head Coaches for the 2021/22 Season. Congratulations Coaches!! We look forward to working together with the coaches over the summer to get ready for the upcoming season.
