Changes to the League Format for this season *IMPORTANT*
There are several changes to the format of the league this year. Here is what you need to know:
1) This year will be at U11 not split up between U10/U11 like it was last year. We will be participating in a newly formed league which includes Waterloo, Kitchener, and Cambridge and is called “Tri-Cities Hockey League (TCHL)*”
2) There will be 4 Waterloo Teams participating in U11 Games will be played in rinks across the region in Kitchener and Cambridge, not just in Waterloo with varying time slots. There may be instances where games will be played outside of the regular weekend hours depending on ice time availability in the region.
3) The TCHL schedule is set to be released on or around September 22, 2023. What is currently posted on the WMHA website will in fact be changing.
