Northern Ontario Spotlight

There’s something special about this year’s championships. With the U13 AA division in Copper Cliff and the U18 A division in New Liskeard, the NOHA region isn’t just sending teams, it’s showcasing Northern hockey to the rest of the province. Home ice matters. The energy, the communities, the pride, it all adds another layer when championships are played in the North.

A huge thank you to our host associations, the volunteers, team staff, coaches, and parents. Your commitment, time, and support are what make opportunities like this possible and what help get our athletes to this stage.
