Bullfrogs Program Outline:

Overview:

The Bullfrogs program was initiated in 1998 and operates under the umbrella of Sherwood Park Inline. The program addresses the desire of some players to compliment their house league play with a more competitive level of hockey. Through this program, any player registered and participating in the SpinLine house league (during the current season) has the opportunity to be selected to play on a team in their age division and participate in events that are approved by the SpinLine executive.

Objective:

The Bullfrogs program will provide one team in each of the 10U, 12U, 14U and 16U divisions to participate in interprovincial play where numbers and skill level make this possible. Teams will be comprised of players playing within the SpinLine house league program and who commit to the guidelines set below. Teams will be representative "rep" teams including the top players interested in playing at this level.
