Details on the 2025-26 Season:

Starting next season, the ORHL will return to its roots, and will once again be a NO BODY CHECKING league.

For next season only, Major Midget (U19) will remain a contact division. Contact will be grandfathered out by the 2026-27 season. This league was founded with a focus on instituting a family-friendly environment, a schedule that allows for multi-sport athletes to easily join our Friday-Sunday games and events, and as a place where players of all stature feel safe to grow in the sport of hockey.


We have cultivated many years of outstanding memories, and we'll continue to champion our players on and off the ice.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: HOCKEY CANADA REGISTERED PARTICIPANT REINSTATEMENT


The OHF has clarified their reinstatement procedures for all individuals who participate in Non-Sanctioned Games. The OHF will no longer require players to submit a reinstatement application. Since the inception of the ORHL in 2011, we have sought to provide an excellent hockey option for families. We applaud this decision, and have eagerly awaited such a positive change in policy.  The power is back with families as they choose what is best for the athlete and their development, without being fearful of jeopardizing their child's hockey pathway.


From the OHF:


While the Non-Sanctioned Games Policy (3.2.1) establishes that individuals may seek reinstatement of privileges after the end of that season, the OHF and its Members do not administer a formal reinstatement process. Therefore, all individuals deemed ineligible by the Non-Sanctioned Games Policy are automatically reinstated the immediately following season without need to make a reinstatement application.


The early reinstatement process referenced in section 3.2.3 requires a validation that returning participants are not displacing other participants that made a full commitment to Hockey Canada programming. With each new season new rosters are formed, hence reinstatement is automatically granted at the conclusion of one season and the commencement of the subsequent.


The Ontario Hockey Federation respects the right of every individual to choose between participating in a Hockey Canada sanctioned Game or a Non-Sanctioned Game at the beginning of each hockey season. Every individual who makes the choice to Participate in a Non-Sanctioned Game, however, must understand the ramifications of that choice. Please refer to the Non-Sanctioned Game Policy for more information.

Being a proud partner of the AAU also allows teams from the US and Europe to participate in our ORHL events as well. Since inception there have been various teams from the US participate in our events and more recently teams from Europe attending.
What is the ORHL?
A family friendly and school friendly league that simply provides another option to play hockey where we prioritize a safe, well balanced, fair play atmosphere. We take great pride in developing your child into respectful players on and off the ice. We teach core values...respect your coaches, your teammates, your opponents, your game officials, your parents and respect the game of hockey we all love to play. 

The calibre of hockey is "rep level", without specifically using the "AA", "A" or "AE" descriptors.
