How do we know which division we’re in ?
Winternationals places all of the teams in the same age group into an " open " round robin format. They will be split into which ever division they achieve based on their round robin results.
For example, if you win all 3 round robin games, you go into the the Gold or Platinum Division.
For example, if you lose all 3 round robin games, you go into the Bronze or Silver Division.
Number of teams in one age group
Where possible, we will allow as many players to participate as we can. In an example where 20+kids register for the same age group. We could complete 2+ teams of players who could all participate in the same event.
Roster Sizes
- How many players will each team have ? Each age group and each team will have it’s own dynamic to work through, all Pure Maple teams will be 8-12 skaters + 1 goalie. If for some unforeseen reason we only have 3 players and are not able to field a team we will let you know before any money is spent.
Fair Play
We are going to a tournament which is full of great teams. Canada Inline believes that all players need to participate in order to gain growth and experience in their own game. As a general rule from our program, all of the kids will play equally at this event. That being said, we are also going to a tournament in hopes to win games and the event. There will be situations where some players will be given slightly more playing time than others.
Goalies
Our rosters will be made up with only one goalie on each team. The Narch games are short and it’s a long way to go to have to share the net. If we ever have a situation where 2 goalies would be considered, we would talk to both parties involved to OK the 2 goalies first.
Coaching
Canada Inline believes in the development of it’s players through it’s own program. Our Coaching staff all comes from within the program. We have players from our Senior National Teams who become great coaches or members of our Canada Inline team. We do not have parents coach our teams.
Costs / Payments

I've played with Pure Maple so I already have my pants and jersey. Do I have to buy another one ?
( Black and Gold Jersey + Black and Red Pants )
- Players who already have their pants and jersey (provided they are in good clean condition and they still fit properly. “ no rips / tears / marks etc. “), will be able to use them again.
- If you already have the uniform, then your team fees will be discounted. Instead of $495, they are $395.
- If you show up with a uniform that is in unplayable condition you will need to buy another one before being able to participate.
Wheels
Our Pure Maple program is partnered with Konixx wheels.
AS many of you will have just received fresh wheels at the July 2023 event. Wheels will not be made part of the player package in order to help save everyone some money.
It is Mandatory that ALL players on the teams have Konixx wheels on their skates.
If you do need to buy a set we will be offering wheels at the event at a discounted rate.
