The Ontario Hockey Federation has amended its Non-Sanctioned League Policy for games operating outside the Hockey Canada structure. In accordance with Hockey Canada, the OHF has a committed strategy toward a cohesive long-term athlete development model in which we feel our programs are second to none in sport. Organizations that operate outside of our structure in the form of leagues, tournaments, and games, are considered “non-sanctioned”.
The latest amendments were approved by the OHF Board of Directors on April 15, 2021, and will become effective September 10, 2021. To read the full policy for the 2021-2022 Hockey Season, click here

For the 2021-2022 season, Hockey Canada has introduced the Hockey Canada Player Pathways.
To assist with planning, the NOHA has created Seasonal Calendars for U7-U9, U11, and U13-U18. Note that in some areas, representative programming will be the highest category available. It will be important to work together with other MHAs to plan tryouts so Players may have the opportunity to tryout for higher programming where possible.
