Grab your jerseys, sharpen your skates, & tape those sticks! We're ready to meet you on the ice!
We've been working hard behind the scenes this summer preparing for the 2021-2022 season! Beginning this week & over the next few weeks, ice times are scheduled according to age group & the first letter of your participant’s last name. (except U8, U9, & U18 are not split by last name initials)
These ice times are for all registered participants, regardless of LL, BB, or AE. Please refer to the main website calendar to ensure that your player is attending the correct ice time:
https://lindsayminorhockey.com/Calendar/
*To maintain numbers & keep track of participants inside the arena during ice times,
we cannot allow requests for participants to switch ice times
or move between name groupings within age groups*
Tryouts: ice times are scheduled in the BB calendars at the end of this month. Please watch the LMHA website for more updates & important information to come
Volunteers & Coaches:
The hard work of our dedicated volunteers is our most valuable asset & it's what drives our organization. We're always in need of volunteers for various positions (team staff, fundraising, special events, board members).
We have an immediate need for added coaching staff & Covid-19 Reps for our September skates. Please contact Monte Storey, LMHA Supervisor of Coaches & Trainers [email protected] if you are available to help!

We’re excited for a more normal season of hockey, and to ensure safe enjoyment for all, there are similarities to last season that must remain in place:

Info on Vaccination Policies:
Just recently, OMHA announced policies in alignment with government regulations requiring vaccinations for those eligible with regards to entry to facilities & participation in hockey.
If this recent announcement has forced you to reconsider registering your child for hockey, LMHA will allow you to deregister and waive the deregistration fees, if done so BEFORE September 21st 2021. All refunds are board reviewed on a case by case basis & we understand this may be a difficult choice to make (LMHA Refund Policy)
Please contact our Registrar: [email protected]
