Calendar Feed Subscription, 07 - Montreal Blue, U13 (Barrie Minor Hockey)

Subscribe To A Calendar Feed
Would you like to be able to import your team(s) schedules into your other calendars, and automatically sync when those schedules change?  This website provides a Live Calendar "Feed" which allows programs like Microsoft Outlook®, services like Google Calendar™, or devices like the Apple iPhone™ to import and combine with your other calendars.  Because it's a "feed" and not a "file" (which you can also export from this site), information changed on the site will automatically update in your other calendar(s).

Use this page to create your own personal "Calendar Feed Address" which you can use to automatically synchronize your team(s) calendar with devices and software which allow "Subscribed" or "Internet" calendars. For more details regarding some of the more common specific programs or devices please look at the Disclaimers and Instructions section below.
Please note - calendar feeds will only update with the latest information about every 2 hours. Be sure to check the website for the latest, up-to-the-minute information.

Disclaimers

Microsoft Outlook® Users: Internet Calendar feeds are only supported in version 2007 or later.  The calendars will be updated each time Outlook® performs a Send & Receive, which typically happens automatically every 30 minutes (but can also happen on-demand).  The live calendar feed from this website has been set to update no more frequently than every 3 hours, however.

Google Calendar™ Users: For several years, many users of Google Calendar have reported that calendar feeds only update once per day, and there is no option to allow the user to update more frequently (or on-demand).  Because of this, changes made to the schedule on the website may take at least one day before being updated in your Google Calendar.

BlackBerry® Users: For devices running BlackBerry OS 10 (BB10) or higher, the calendar feeds should work just fine. However, prior to BB10 RIM had decided not to support "over-the-air" calendar feeds in their devices so they won't work.

Final Disclaimer: There are literally thousands of software applications, website services, and devices which could potentially be used to import the calendar feed. It is impossible for us to test each of these scenarios, and it is also impossible for us to guarantee that your scenario will work as expected.  You should always check the website for the latest schedule prior to departing.  We will only test that our feed works in the most common environments.

Note: once your season is over, please remember to unsubscribe from your calendar feed. Once your team(s) are no longer in the current season the website will return a message prompting you to "please delete this out-dated calendar feed" with basic instructions for doing so. Continually requesting calendar information for non-current teams creates unneccesary strain on the website.
