Our Initiation Program and Local League will kick off the week of September 15th.
Due to STMHA losing 8 hours of ice time per week at Port Stanley Arena, we may only be able to offer one Local League team each for U11, U13, and U15. Once these teams fill up, we will create a waitlist to assess the possibility of accommodating a second team.

Registration Deadlines: September 1, 2025

- U11: Waitlisted for players, 1 goalie spot remaining
- U13: Waitlisted, 1 goalie spot remaining
- U15: Waitlisted for players, 2 goalie spots available

We are also seeking coaches for the Local League. If you're interested, please contact Brad at [email protected]

True Sport
The True Sport Principles are a rallying point for True Sport members — they are universal. The principles can be brought to life in any sport at any level, from playground to podium. An Olympic rowing squad can embrace these principles with the same sense of pride and purpose as an elementary school, an old-timers' league, or a community hockey arena. For sport to be truly good and have the opportunity to make the greatest difference, all seven of these principles need to be in play at all times, working in perfect balance with one another.
