WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT ?

The K-W Daytimers Hockey Club Inc., consists of eight separate groups that split into two teams of old-timer style hockey. Five of the groups play up to 78 one hour games on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings (8:00am,9,10,11,12:00pm) mostly at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Centre (WMRC). The remaining three groups play up to 54 one hour games. Tuesday at the Albert McCormick Arena and Thursday mornings at the WMRC.

Here are some points about our culture.

• We promote fun hockey, camaraderie and exercise with organized hockey for our members.
• Each of our eight groups make up two teams that are not integrated each year with the teams of the other groups.
• The two teams from each group play against each other for all games. The captains in each group routinely mix up the team rosters. We do not play as a league in competition between teams.
• Each team has only two full lines which allows all players to enjoy a full 25 minutes of ice time for each game.
• We do not have referees with whistles to slow down our games and use up ice time.
• We are playing for the fun of it and do not keep stats.
• The size of the dressing rooms at the WMRC allows us to have both teams in each group use the same dressing room. This builds great camaraderie and fun, with of course good trash talk.
• Our season starts on the last Monday in September and usually ends on the first week in April. Most of our games are played at the WMRC and the balance at other Waterloo or Kitchener rinks.
• Our club ranges from age 50 to age 85, our average age being around age 65 or higher.
• Most players (our regulars) play all three games each week with our Mon/Wed/Fri or twice a week with our Tue/Thur groups. We do have players who only play once or twice a week as a regular and we work this in to our player rosters.
• Players Fees - (Fees may change from season to season) Since we are using daytime ice time our cost for a full 79 game schedule last season is $600.00 per player ($8.00/game). Our Tuesday-Thursday group for a full 57 games schedule is $456.00.
• Pool players are charged $12.00 per game.
• We have been fortunate to have sponsors provide us with team sweaters at no charge to our players.
• K-W Daytimers will wear CSA approved helmets & strongly recommend that face protection also be worn. This document will confirm that players participate at their own risk & that by doing so they assume all risk of injury & waive any claims against DTH.
• Due to the vulnerability of our members demographics, we encourage our applicants to get their COVID vaccination. However, it is NO longer mandatory as it was in previous years. (Currently we have two dressing rooms per group and optional masking for those who have vulnerable family members.)
