Welcome to the current home of the St. Lawrence Lightning!
In July 2023, the Kingston Impact and Brockville Blazers announced a partnership to deliver a high performance regional program for female athletes in our area to participate in the Junior Elite League of Ontario (JUEL).
After consultation with many stakeholders, we decided to call this new program the St. Lawrence Lightning.
Tryouts for the St. Lawrence Lightning teams will be held at St. Queen's University (Kingston) in Bartlett Gym (Mitchell Hall).
Wednesday August 14, 2024
Sunday August 18, 2024
Details, including online registration can be found here.
There is a $40 non-refundable tryout fee.
The Registration "JUEL" is not currently available.
We will be offering 2 teams this year:
Age | Team | Born |
---|---|---|
U16 | JUEL PREP | 2009-2011 |
U19 | JUEL | 2006-2008 |
The teams will participate against 13 other regional teams from around Ontario and is considered the best league for non-prep school teams in the province.
This program is for high school age athletes who :
The commitment is heavier than normal OBA play. Players will be expected to practice 3 times a week starting after the girls' high school season is over until the league championship at the end of May. There will also be at least 10 weekends away requiring at 12+ hotel nights.
For details on the JUEL schedule please refer to their website.
As our region is considered almost a 3 hr drive from one side to the other, we will try to reduce the travel burden for players especially for practice. Practice locations will be split between Brockville and Kingston depending on where the players on the final roster live. Details on how that will work will not be available until the final rosters are announced.
Expect the player fees to participate in this program to be between $1750 - $2000. This will be finalized by tryouts.
This fee will not include travel costs but will include:
JUEL Head Coach
JUEL PREP Head Coach
