FAQ
ANY QUESTIONS?
Frequently asked Questions about our Winter Ice Hockey program.
WHERE DO WE PLAY?
Our Winter Ice Hockey teams practice at SHIELD (Burlington) and Gateway (Hamilton) while our games are played across Southern Ontario as well as US border areas.
WHAT LEAGUE ARE WE IN?
Our Winter Ice Hockey teams will participate in a variety of Leagues and Tournaments next season. The NAPHL, ORHL, as well as independent hockey play in Canada and the US. In the past we've made appearances as a guest in GTHL sanctioned tournaments.
WHO DO WE PLAY?
The teams we play vary by age group. In Ontario we play Oakville Oilers, Hamilton Ironmen etc. and also routinely play Buffalo area teams (eg. Amherst, Buffalo Regals, Power City Bruins).
WHAT LEVEL OF HOCKEY IS THIS?
Each team will play at roughly "AA/A" (Canada) level competition (AAA in US at times). As teams progress throughout the season they may be slated to face more difficult competition.
HOW OFTEN ARE YOU ON THE ICE?
'26/'27 we have planned on 5 hours of on-ice practice in addition to the games played on tournament weekends. Our in-season (winter) programming starts in August.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN TYPICAL REP?
Our belief, from experience, is that traditional rep programs focus on winning games; not so much on individual player advancement.
The teams in these other programs "advance" when they cut less skilled players at the end of a season in favor of taking on higher skilled players.
Our model is focused on identifying those individual weaknesses at the onset and addressing them in the initial months. Our teams inevitably evolve throughout the season as individual players "rank up" their skills.
