Explanation of Levels of Play (Milton Minor Hockey)

PrintExplanation of Levels of Play
MMHA offers Houseleague and Representative play.

Other than the traditional houseleague and rep levels there are a few other options for our more developed players looking for more competitive hockey.
(Note: these programs are not guaranteed to be offered annually and are dependent on OMHA approval, interest/skill level, registration numbers and other factors)

MD (Minor Dev't) program:

  • currently offered for U7,  U8 and U9
  • Players must live in OMHA Boundaries
  • Players ONLY play on this team
  • Non-contact (no body checking at any age group)
  • Travelling team, in a local loop currently determined by TriCounty/OMHA
  • Top up fees to cover added costs (extra ice/jerseys, jamborees etc)
  • On ice 2-3 times a week,
  • Tryouts for U7 in fall, for U8 and 9 in Spring as per OHF guidelines

 

Select program:

  • Potentially for U7 to U18 age groups, determined annually, dependent on interest/skill level-typically one team per age group
