Player pathway

Most players start locally. Competitive opportunities may combine several communities and usually require tryouts.

Hockey pathways are choices, not automatic promotions. At some ages, families may choose between local rep and a regional competitive association. Each option requires its own registration or tryout and eligibility confirmation.

How to choose the right association

  1. Search your town on IceTime to see the local association that likely serves you, in the boys/mixed or girls' stream.
  2. Confirm your home association with Hockey Eastern Ontario's official address lookup — boundaries decide where you can register.
  3. First-time players usually start in U7 with their local association. Competitive (rep) clubs hold tryouts and normally require home-association registration first.
  4. Register, pay and ask questions directly on the association's own website.

Boundary and pathway information is a guide. Confirm eligibility directly with the association before registering.

Team names and logos identify the listed organizations. IceTime is not their governing body or registration provider.
