Summer Fun is On, But Hockey Season is Calling! Registration is OPEN!
While the grill's fired up and the days are long, it's already time to start thinking about gliding across the ice! Owen Sound Minor Hockey Group is excited to announce that registration for the 2025-26 season officially opened on July 1st. We're inviting all young aspiring hockey stars to get ready for another incredible year of skill-building, teamwork, and unforgettable moments on the rink.

Why Secure Your Spot Early?

Every year, as autumn approaches, we see a rush of registrations, and our divisions often fill up quickly due to high demand! With our access to prime ice times being limited, signing up early is truly the best way to guarantee your child's place in their age group. This early commitment is vital as it allows us to plan effectively, ensuring that everything is in place for a great season – from creating balanced teams to having dedicated coaches and volunteers ready. Most importantly, it helps you avoid the disappointment of a waitlist and ensures your child doesn't miss out on hitting the ice!

This season, our Local League program is getting an exciting boost! The Western Ontario Athletic Association (WOAA) is introducing tiered programming. This fantastic initiative will group players of similar skill levels, creating more competitive and enjoyable games. It's a wonderful opportunity for every player to develop their abilities and truly shine.
