APHA House League:

The APHA sponsors a house league for players 5-6 and 7-8. Each community centre forms its own teams. These teams play other APHA teams between November and March. The registration determines the number of teams in each age category.

House league hockey starts in October with an initiation program of about six 45 minutes on ice sessions.

For the first year the WMHA 1999-2000 season has 8AI or tiered hockey for those interested (this was previously referred to as Mighty Mites). It is not mandatory and tryouts will be in the 7-8 year old house league.

Tier Hockey:

For children ages 9 and above, is a "tiering" of players according to ability as demonstrated at tryout seasons to establish the appropriate level.
