The U18 Rangers program in Fort Saskatchewan Minor Hockey (FSMH) offers players a supportive and competitive environment to further develop their skills as they approach the final stages of minor hockey.

The Association typically fields two co-ed, tiered U18 teams—one body contact and one non-body contact—providing options that suit different player preferences and comfort levels. The U18 program focuses on maintaining a fun and positive experience while refining advanced team play and strategy. It encourages continued personal and athletic growth, preparing players for opportunities beyond minor hockey.

FSMH offers two streams at this level: the U18 tiered community program and the U18 AAA and AA programs operated by the Rangers Athletic Club (RAC), though this page specifically covers the U18 tiered stream.

ADDITIONAL COST - 

• FSMH fundraising bond (Each family registered with FSMH is required to meet the minimum fundraising requirements.)
• Team fees approx. $200-800 (Decided & collected by the team)– These are dependent on how much fundraising the team would like to participate in.
• Practice Jersey - *New this season - each player will purchase a practice jersey at the time of registration. This is done through TeamSnap registration and you will receive this jersey once your team is formed from your coach.  This practice jersey is yours to keep when the season is over. 

Our goal is to ensure that tryouts are as transparent as possible and acknowledge that this
the process can be incredibly stressful for both participants and parents. 

All U18 tier players will participate in a minimum of one skills session and three scrimmage games with the objective to form teams with players of similar skill and ability. All players are evaluated by a 3rd party unbiased professional evaluation company. 

FSMH believes in players with similar skill sets playing with and against each other to provide the best hockey and development experience.
